Through different eyes... Forty years of nuclear microscopy at the micrometre scale

Published on Jan 15, 202073 Views

2020 marks the fortieth anniversary of the first published images using ion beam analysis (IBA) at a spatial resolution of 1 micrometre. IBA exploits the reaction products emitted when samples are ex
