2019 SIMS Student WORKSHOP (Feb 25-March 1)

The UCLA SIMS laboratory hosts a 5 day workshop on ion microprobe applications in Earth and Planetary Sciences from Feb. 25 to Mar 1, 2019. The workshop emphasizes microanalytical geochronology and stable isotope geochemistry by large radius magnetic sector SIMS. For more info and application go to: SIMS_WORKSHOP_2019

The UCLA SIMS (a CAMECA ims-1270) is supported by the NSF Instrumentation and Facilities Program. This page describes some of the capabilities of our facility and some of the users that have visited and used it.
