PS2.8: Advances in Ion Microscopy
Session co-organisers: Beverley Inkson, Stefano Frabboni, Paul Alkemade
Ion beam microscopy is currently undergoing a rapid and exciting expansion of applications and new instrumentation. This symposium is aimed at Advances in Ion Microscopy, including focused Ga and He ion beams (FIB), secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and other novel ion sources. Contributions to the symposium are particularly solicited in the areas of novel techniques, 3D FIB tomography and chemical analysis, micromachining and specimen preparation, nanomanufacture, nanopatterning and FIB analysis of biomaterials. This session should be an excellent opportunity for discussing developments and networking within the ion microscopy community.
