Electrostatic force: A novel method for mounting small zircon grains to expose the maximum outer surface

Mirco-beam isotopic analyses of zircon have increased dramatically with applications for providing multi-isotopic information. As small as 2–5 μm spot size could be used by secondary ion mass spectrometry for in-situ isotope analysis of zircon with high precision and accuracy. However, this lateral...
