Imaging Mass Spectrometry on the Nanoscale with Cluster Ion Beams
Imaging with cluster secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is reaching a mature level of development. Using a variety of molecular ion projectiles to stimulate desorption, 3-dimensional imaging with the selectivity of mass spectrometry can now be achieved with submicrometer spatial resolution and <10 nm depth resolution. In this Perspective, stock is taken regarding what it will require to rou...
متن کاملEnhancing Secondary Ion Yields in Time of Flight-Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry Using Water Cluster Primary Beams
Low secondary ion yields from organic and biological molecules are the principal limitation on the future exploitation of time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) as a surface and materials analysis technique. On the basis of the hypothesis that increasing the density of water related fragments in the ion impact zone would enhance proton mediated reactions, a prototype water cl...

This article is a concise review of the application of secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to the imaging of biological cells. The paper covers the various advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to SIMS analysis with respect to the information that can be gained from the interrogation of the cells. Current successes, pitfalls and future potential for SIMS in cell imaging are di...
متن کاملNew Cs sputter ion source with polyatomic ion beams for secondary ion mass spectrometry applications.
A simple design for a cesium sputter ion source compatible with vacuum and ion-optical systems as well as with electronics of the commercially available Cameca IMS-4f instrument is reported. This ion source has been tested with the cluster primary ions of Si(n)(-) and Cu(n)(-). Our experiments with surface characterization and depth profiling conducted to date demonstrate improvements of the an...
متن کاملCluster secondary ion mass spectrometry of polymers and related materials.
Cluster secondary ion mass spectrometry (cluster SIMS) has played a critical role in the characterization of polymeric materials over the last decade, allowing for the ability to obtain spatially resolved surface and in-depth molecular information from many polymer systems. With the advent of new molecular sources such as C(60)(+), Au(3)(+), SF(5)(+), and Bi(3)(+), there are considerable increa...
