understanding of how to fight different types of cancer. In criminal investigations TOF-SIMS is used to detect traces of drugs or gun powder in fingerprints otherwise invisible to any other detection instrument or technique. Related, nuclear scientists use TOF-SIMS to detect the presence of enriched uranium isotopes in hot places around the world thus preventing the wrong people to produce the so called bombs”. Even more, TOF-SIMS has started “dirty to become a very important tool for detecting forgeries in old documents or paintings. In geology and paleontology scientists base their research on TOF-SIMS to date fossils and determine their mass composition. And these are only few examples. Some of the TOF-SIMS research performed in our facility is presented below. Figure Legend: The principle of Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
