This search has found 9 analyses

The results of your search are shown on this page, which is divided into three sections. The first contains geochemical data in the form of electron probe microanalyses of the the tephra layer you have chosen, which can be downloaded. Most of these analyses will be of glass shards. The second section gives information about the instrument conditions and the third details about the sources of the data and the date and time of your search. You should always refer to the original sources to get the full context of the data presented here.

EP Instument Beam current Acc. Volt Sample Correction Details
27 Camca SX100 (University of Edinburgh) 10 nA 15 kV Thin section mounted in araldite then ground and polished PAP Beam diameter rastered over 10 um. For small shards a beam current of 5 nA and beam diameter of 5 m was used. Counting times on the peak of each element were restricted to 10 s. Sodium was measured in the first counting period.
