QUB-569 (Borge-53 Tephra) at Borge

This search has found 17 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
17	Jeol 733 Superprobe (Queens University, Belfast)	10 nA	15 kV	Thin section mounted in araldite then ground and polished	ZAF	The beam was de-focused to a diameter of about 8 um. Sodium was analysed first with a short count time of 10 s. Count times for other elements varied from 15 to 40 s.
