Abstract
Ion microprobe SIMS by means of positive or negative secondary ions from the specimen surface offers a very high sensitivity not only in surface analysis but in depth profiling also, allowing vast application to solids including biological samples. Particularly for electronegative elements, it is very effective to bombard the specimen surface with Cs ions to get negative secondary ions. Conventional ion bombardment under Cs flooding is also known as an alternative.
Dr. Tsuyoshi Okutani, the first author who had devoted himself to this study, suddenly died of pneumonia during the process of severe treatment agaist acute leukaemia, as young as 34 years old, on July 13, 1985.
