Edinburgh Ion Microprobe Facility
@eimf.bsky.social
SIMS lab (ims7f-Geo and ims1300) analysing radiogenic and stable isotopes, light & volatile elements, traces and REE in geological, environmental, terrestrial and extraterrestrial solid materials. Open to NERC and other UKRI researchers and internationals
Installation milestone reached! Our new 1300HR was turned on today for the first time. Meanwhile our guest Dr Joshua Shea from Cambridge is busy with the 7f, measuring trace element partitioning in olivine.

It's our new IMS 1300-HR!! It will be ready for exciting new science projects in spring 2026 - the best time to visit Edinburgh.

Several mysterious boxes arrived at the Ionprobe lab. Can we open them now or do we have to wait for Christmas?

Second session of Dee Cirium on the 7f-Geo. This time she has been able to attend in person. I hope you have had fun analysing volatiles in MIs, Dee.
