Time-of-flight secondary mass spectrometer
Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer. View of a sample tray of a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ToF SIMS). This mass spectrometer analyses the surface of a sample. A pulsed ion beam is used to remove molecules from the outermost surface of the sample and convert them to ions. This is done at low intensity so that large or " macro" molecules, such as polymers, stay intact. The ions are taken up into a flight tube and accelerated toward a detector. The time taken to reach the detector determines the mass of the ion. This mass spectrometer helps to accurately determine the chemical composition of a samples surface

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ToF SIMS) in action. The image captures the view of a sample tray, where cutting-edge technology meets chemistry to analyze the surface of various samples. In this advanced apparatus, a pulsed ion beam delicately removes molecules from the outermost layer of the sample and converts them into ions. Remarkably, this process is carried out at low intensity to ensure that larger "macro" molecules like polymers remain intact throughout analysis. The resulting ions are then propelled into a flight tube and accelerated towards a detector. It is fascinating to note that the time taken for these ions to reach the detector directly correlates with their mass. This critical information enables scientists to precisely determine the chemical composition of a sample's surface. With its ability to provide accurate insights into chemical analysis, this mass spectrometer plays an instrumental role in numerous industries such as research, manufacturing, and quality control. By offering detailed surface analysis without compromising large molecules' integrity, it empowers researchers across diverse fields. This mesmerizing still life photograph not only highlights cutting-edge equipment but also symbolizes innovation within the scientific community. Its intricate details invite viewers on an exploration of unseen molecular worlds while emphasizing Science Photo Library's commitment to capturing remarkable moments in science and technology.
