| The use of light ions for microscopy and tomography is illustrated by a variety of recent applications in materials and life sciences at the Leipzig high-energy ion-nanoprobe LIPSION with a short comparison to other microscopic techniques. The versatility of ion techniques is exemplified by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry maps of thin films of solar cell materials, particle induced X-ray emission maps of manganese in ancient human bones, particle induced X-ray emission on single aerosol particles with μm size, and scanning transmission ion microscopy and tomography on pigs knee cartilage. Finally, the design of a single ion single living cell bombardment facility is sketched for studies of the cellular response and microdosimetry. |
