What we do

The UA GeoAPT laboratory is designed to develop atom probe tomography (APT) for Earth Sciences applications

Our primary goals are:
- Improvement of the current knowledge of the geochemical characterization of minerals at the atomic scale.
- APT characterization of geological standards.
- Development of new geological APT applications.
- Sharing APT expertise to address current geologic problems.
