A new method to measure the sulfur isotopic composition of individual aerosol particles by NanoSIMS has been developed and tested on several standards such as barite (BaSO4), anhydrite (CaSO4), gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O), mascagnite ((NH4)2SO4), epsomite (MgSO4·7H2O), magnesium sulfate (MgSO4·xH2O), thenardite (Na2SO4), boetite (K2SO4) and cysteine (an amino acid).

This ion microprobe technique employs a Cs+ primary ion beam and measures negative secondary ions permitting the analysis of sulfur isotope ratios in individual aerosol particles down to 500 nm in size (0.001-0.5 ng of sample material). The grain-to-grain reproducibility of measurements is typically 5‰ (1σ) for micron-sized grains, » weiterlesen» einklappen
