What does SIMS stand for?

Among the topics in this edition are using lipidic advances in imaging secondary ion mass spectrometry for biological samples, electron crystallography as a technique to study the structure of membrane proteins in a lipidic environment, insights from type II diabetes into the interplay of catalysis and toxicity by amyloid intermediates in lipid bilayers, biochemical and structural properties of the integrin-associated cytoskeleton protein talin, bioimage informatics for experimental biology, and determining the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins by magic angle spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic radiation.

Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) is an important surface science technique that provides very high sensitivity for the detection of trace elements in solid samples, while also providing good spatial detail.

They will also be presented at the following two occasions: the 15th International Conference on Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS XV) to be held in Manchester, UK, from September 12 to 16, and Cosmetics 2005 International Conference-World Wide Wellness to be held in Florence, Italy from September 19 to 21.

As of August, Millbrook Instruments had sold 11 of its chemical microscopes, which utilize secondary ion mass spectrometry, including two sold in Japan .

Organic Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is an analytical method of characterizing organic samples on surfaces.

This makes RBS an ideal complement to Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS), Auger Electron Spectrometry (AES), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometry (XPS) analytical services also offered by EAG.

His instructions for analysis include x-ray spectroscopy for elemental analysis, electron spectroscopy and secondary ion mass spectrometry for surface analysis, vibration spectroscopy for molecular analysis and thermal analysis.

Although of fundamental importance, the scientific community lacks a clear picture of energetic collision cascades in molecular solids, an important application of the high-energy bombardment of solids is Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS).
