Abstract
A new sample chamber has been developed for laser microprobe mass analysis of large bulk samples. The pulsed power laser is focused onto the sample under an angle of 45 degree. The irradiated area is an ellipse of about 3 μm greater diameter. The ions are extracted perpendicular to the sample and mass analyzed by a time-of-flight spectrometer of wide energy acceptance. The sample can be observed either through the laser focusing objective or a second objective arranged perpendicular to the sample. Details on the construction of the chamber will be given. First applications to a steel sample and a glass sample will be described.
