Abstract: | The nuclear microprobe is a spatially sensitive analytical instrument which exploits measurement of the particles or other radiations emitted when specimens are irradiated with beams of energetic charged-particles, most often having energies lying the range 0.5–4 MeV. Factors affecting the analytical and technical performance are discussed and examples given of application of the instrument to the fields of nuclear science and metallurgy, biology and geology. |
