LASER STEPPED HEATING SYSTEM

Configured for 40Ar-39Ar geochronology analyses in conjunction with a noble gas mass spectrometer, the FUSIONS 10.6 provides for the targeting and controlled (stepped) heating of mineral sample including feldspars, sections and grains to the fusion point.

  • Homogenized “flat” beam
  • Uniform heating
  • Laser travels over sample cell
  • Cell remains fixed in oven
  • Lower blanks
The FUSIONS 10.6 has the capacity to irradiate sample surface areas up to 6.0 mm in diameter using a field-proven, RF excited, sealed CO2 laser that can be continuously adjusted in output power to >55W. Unique beamflattening technology converts the usual Gaussian beam rofile to a flat, uniform energy distribution across the sample.
