Geoscience Atom Probe

three dimensional sub-nanometre imaging of minerals and metals
Enter Site
The Geoscience Atom Probe forms part of the Advanced Resource Characterisation Facility (ARCF), a National Resource Sciences Precinct (NRSP) initiative funded by the Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF) and the NRSP partner institutions (CSIRO, Curtin University and the ​University of Western Australia). The aim of the ARCF is to develop and apply world-leading technologies to resource science, in particular, geoscience.

The Geoscience Atom Probe is hosted in the John de Laeter Centre (JdLC), Curtin University and is a Cameca LEAP 4000X HR system. The instrument was commissioned in the second half of 2015 with Facility staff commencing in September 2015. The JdLC also houses a NRSP-funded Tescan LYRA Focussed-Ion-Beam Scanning Electron Microscope with Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry capability.

We are a new research facility, in an exciting phase of growth, with lots of innovative ideas and plans for the future development of atom probe microscopy in the geosciences.
