Mass Spectrometric Microlocal and Imaging Analysis of Geological Samples

6 Mass Spectrometric Microlocal and Imaging Analysis of Geological Samples 

The geological MPI-DING references glasses prepared and characterized by Jochum et al. employing several analytical techniques as described in Chapter 6 are recommended to improve possible quantification procedures for in situ microlocal analysis.4,12 

For quantitative imaging of elements on cross section of geological samples LA-ICP-MS can be employed.
