Electron microprobe laboratory : EPMA JEOL FEG JXA-iHP200F
Responsible: Valentina Batanova
Operators: Valentina Batanova, Valérie Mangin, Julien Leger
The JXA-iHP200F is an electronic field emission microprobe, the latest generation of JEOL microprobes. It makes it possible to go directly from observation by optical and electronic images to analysis with wavelength dispersion (WDS), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), cathodoluminescence (CL) and to perform quantitative analyzes of submicron particles for elements ranging from B to U with detection limits of the order of 10 ppm.

Laboratory LA-ICP-MS : Split Stream Tandem LA-MC-ICP-MS/ICP-MS-MS/LIBS system
Responsible: Valentina Batanova, Adrien Vezinet, Julien Leger
Operators: Valentina Batanova, Adrien Vezinet, Julien Leger
The first system, which combines an excimer laser with a flux divided between a multicollector (Mc-ICP-MS) and a triple quadruple ICP MS and a Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectrometer (LIBS). The system is capable of simultaneously analyzing major, minor, trace elements and their isotopes, including volatiles, with a spatial resolution of up to 5 micrometers.
