The scanning light ion microprobe in Uppsala – Status in 2022

The Scanning Light Ion Microprobe in Uppsala (SLIM-UP) was originally installed during 1989/90. Since then, the microprobe has undergone several minor and major modifications. present configuration is a re-build of SLIM-UP, that now connected to 5 MV tandem Pelletron® accelerator Tandem Laboratory, University. We give an overview status facility, including detailed description components recent resolution test. In addition, we most technical developments whereby, system able quickly image large area samples, reliably identify individual microparticles, analyse them separately. Optimal parameters for certain can be found by simple test measurements on dummy samples. Our scenario comprises Fe particles embedded light matrix, representing human tissue. good compromise between required analysis time particle detection efficiency.
