Imaging depth

The imaging mode is used to determine the lateral distribution (xand ) of specific preselected elements. In certain circumstances, an imaging depth profile is acquired, combining the use of both depth profiling and imagii. ... 

By acquiring mass-resolved images as a function of sputtering time, an imaging depth profile is obtained. This combined mode of operation provides simultaneous lateral and depth resolution to provide what is known as three-dimensional analysis. 

Examination of the RA is initiated from the midesophageal four-chamber view, with the image depth adjusted to maximize the size of the RA in... 

Photoacoustic Tomography (PAT) is a novel hybrid imaging modality that is based on the generation of laser-induced ultrasound. PAT can provide high resolution at imaging depths on...

As covered in Section 5.3.2.4.5, sample rotation (also referred to as Zalar rotation) during image depth profiling can minimize the latter. Alternatively, surface topography measurements carried out before and after image depth profiling can account for the latter two. Indeed, the effectiveness of this approach has been demonstrated via ex-situ Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) measurements (van der Heide 1998 Robinson et al. 2012). Based off of the success of this approach, lon-Tof has designed a hybrid APM/TOF-SIMS instrument. 

Image depth profiling is used to derive three-dimensional images of some specific volume. Such images are consiructed by collecting and overlaying... 

Depth profiling refers to the reproduction of any secondary ion intensity variation as a function of depth recorded from spatially homogeneous substrates, i.e. variations in one dimension (analysis of secondary ion intensity variations in two or three dimensions is referred to as imaging). Depths ranging from 10 nm to greater than 10 pm can be routinely accessed, with examples shown in Figure 5.3.
