Description

A kind of micro to submicro particles sample in-situ isotopic element forms method for automatic measurement
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of micro to submicro particles sample in-situ isotopic element and form method for automatic measurement.
Background technology
The measurement of micro to submicro particles sample in-situ isotopic element, be that the isotopic element that particle to being of a size of several microns or submicron order carries out original position is measured, and it is widely used in the middle of geoscience and environmental science.As the isotope analysis of front solar system particle and the analysis of aerosol particle sulfur isotope etc.It is little that these analyze the size that main characteristics are particulate samples, and the particulate samples number is many.Existing measuring method is that at first the experimenter determines analyzed area substantially by optical camera, and then the moved by hand sample arrives the position of corresponding particle, more directly carries out the measurement of isotopic element ratio.Analyzing like this subject matter is the necessary often manual repeatable operation process of experimenter, and analysis efficiency is low.In addition, because these sample sizes are small, existing analytical approach tends to mistake and analyzes other non-target particles, and its experimental result is inaccurate.
Summary of the invention
In order to solve above technical matters, provide a kind of micro to submicro particles sample in-situ isotopic element to form method for automatic measurement.
Steps of the method are:
The first step: particulate samples is evenly distributed in smooth conductive carrier surface;
Second step: the target area coordinate sequence that provides the required particle scanned;
The 3rd step: the stepper motor that carries sample by movement makes sample move to the target area that has set coordinate in advance.Ion gun produces primary ions and reach sample surfaces after high pressure accelerates, and the voltage deflecting plate deflected ion beam bombardment particulate samples of lining by line scan, obtain the sample secondary ion;
The 4th step: secondary ion is drawn acceleration by high pressure, through after mass spectrometer system, according to the difference between mass number, is separated, and is then received by different receiving traps respectively, thereby obtains the secondary ion image;
The 5th step: the secondary ion image that obtains is input to the secondary ion image processing apparatus, identifies quantity, position, profile and the strength information of particulate samples.These information are stored in calculator memory with sequence form, are called the particle sequence information;
The 6th step: the particle sequence information that previous step obtains is transferred to particle sequential analysis device, and particle sequential analysis device is exported scanning position, the Scanning size of corresponding each particle in the particle sequence and scanned integral time.Successively each particle in the particle sequence is carried out to following operation: deflection primary ions bundle, to scanning position, scans bombardment in scanning area, obtains the sample secondary ion and passes through mass spectrometer system again.Isolate element or the isotope secondary ion of different quality number, received by different receivers, send Computer to and calculate isotopic ratio or element ratios;
The 7th step: the 3rd step to the six steps are repeated in the target area in all target areas coordinate sequence in second step.
Technique effect of the present invention is: this method for automatic measurement can automatic in-situ be measured the element isotope of micron-submicron grade particles, go out particle and then carry out again the element isotope analysis and effectively avoided because mistake is analyzed the experimental result inaccuracy that other non-target particles bring according to the secondary ion image recognition of particle, and the automatical analysis flow process has improved greatly analysis efficiency, reduced experimenter's working strength.
