As I recall, there are several people on the list that actively classify
meteorites, so I'm hoping one of you will be patient with a question that may
be profoundly ignorant.
I have access, in house, to a FEI Nova Nanolab 200 Dual-Beam Focused Ion Beam
or a PHI VersaProbe XPS instrument, (along with SEM and TEM) but not to a
working electron microprobe or, ironically, the equipment to make thin
sections. I am not very familiar with the XPS or ion beam instrument. Can I
get the necessary olivine composition ratio to achieve classification of a
chondrite with the XPS probe or the ion beam or do I need to go somewhere and
use a proper electron microprobe? I would be truly grateful if any of you
would take the time to advise.
Thanks so much,
-Robert
