Dear SIMS users,
The WHOI SIMS lab (Northeast National Ion Microprobe Lab) is pleased to
offer a 3 day short
course in Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry, January 14-16, 2015, at the
Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution. The course will focus on historical,
analytical, and technical aspects
of SIMS, and will allow participants to gain hands-on experience tuning,
running, and analyzing
data from the Cameca ims 1280 SIMS. This year’s course will focus on
U/Pb geochronology,
both in instrument setup and data reduction/analysis. In an effort to
maximize the utility of a
hands-on course such as this, we intend to limit our enrollment to 15
total, with preference given
to students and post-docs. Prior SIMS experience is not required. Please
contact Brian
Monteleone ([log in to unmask]) with questions, or to enroll in the
course. Housing for
visiting students, some limited travel funding, and course-time meals
will be provided. There is
no fee to enroll for this course. We hope to see you in January!
Best wishes,
Brian Monteleone, Nobu Shimizu, and Glenn Gaetani
