Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) is a very sensitive surface analytical technique, well established for many industrial and research applications. It provides detailed elemental and molecular information about surfaces, thin layers, interfaces, and full three-dimensional analysis of the samples. The use is widespread, including semiconductors, polymers, paint, coatings, glass, paper, metals, ceramics, biomaterials, pharmaceuticals.
The M6 is the latest generation of high-end TOF-SIMS instruments developed by Scanwel’s partners IONTOF. Its design guarantees superior performance in all fields of SIMS applications. New ground-breaking ion beam and mass analyser technologies make the M6 the benchmark in SIMS instrumentation and the ideal tool for industrial and academic research.
