This award will support the instrumental modification of a                 Cameca IMS 3F ion microprobe in the Department of Physics at                    Washington University in St. Louis. The ion microprobe at                       Washington University is one of only five similar instruments                   currently available to U.S. earth scientists for isotope and trace              element analysis with spatial resolution on the order of ten                    micrometers. The modifications will include: (a) improvements in                the collection of high energy secondary ions leading to greater                 sensitivity for trace element analysis, (b) development of a                    quantitative digital imaging system for the study of trace element              distribution patterns, and (c) improvements in the transmission of              secondary ions at high mass resolution leading to greater                       sensitivity for isotopic ratio measurements, in particular for                  uranium.thorium.lead dating.
