A versatile fusion and heating system for MS applications.

The MIR102 uses a continuous wave CO2 laser, with a 10.6 micron wavelength, to enable stepped heating of samples for analyte introduction into an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer (IRMS). The classic application of the system is 40Ar-39Ar geochronology using a noble gas mass spectrometer.

MIR102 – A powerful evolution of the highly acclaimed original MIR10.

  • Now available in both 30W and 55W power outputs
  • A modernized and on-axis high resolution microscope system for unmatched sample viewing and clarity
  • Now using Elemental Scientific Lasers’ highly successful, feature packed, ActiveView2 software with a modern User Interface (UI) and designed with an emphasis on ease of use and workflow promotion.
  • Step-wise heating from 1W to max with 1000s of energy levels available
  • Software controlled iris enables spot sizes from ~150 microns to < 5 mm
  • High precision XYZ stages with < 1 micron resolution.
