Abstract

Abstract : The application of MeV-SIMS is presented for the detection and mapping of lithium in chemically unprocessed, longitudinally sectioned scalp hair. Abstract : In this exploratory study, the application of secondary ion mass spectrometry with a heavy primary ion beam with an energy of several MeVs (MeV-SIMS) is presented for the simultaneous detection and spatial distribution mapping of lithium in a single, chemically unprocessed strand of scalp hair across a longitudinal profile.
