Installation milestone reached! Our new 1300HR was turned on today for the first time. Meanwhile our guest Dr Joshua Shea from Cambridge is busy with the 7f, measuring trace element partitioning in olivine.

Several mysterious boxes arrived at the Ionprobe lab. Can we open them now or do we have to wait for Christmas?

Second session of Dee Cirium on the 7f-Geo. This time she has been able to attend in person. I hope you have had fun analysing volatiles in MIs, Dee.

This week we had our first user in the Edinburgh Ion Microprobe Facility after the summer shutdown for doing some remedial work in the labs. It feels so nice to be back πŸ™‚
