1. Tephrochronology requires accurate geochemical fingerprinting ( usually via an electron microprobe ). 2. The electron microprobe is widely used for research, quality control, and failure analysis. 3. Castaing ( 1921-1999 ) is considered the " father " of electron microprobe analysis. 4. It was named after Roald Norbach Nielsen ( born 1928 ), a Danish expert in electron microprobe . 5. Exsolution of an albite phase does occur; resulting cryptoperthite can best be observed in electron microprobe images. 6. Using electron microprobe analyses we applied the amphibole-plagioclase geothermometer to adjacent primary microlites in the pseudotachylyte matrix. 7. Later, CAMECA became also the pioneer on manufacturing a shielded version of the electron microprobe for nuclear applications. 8. Monazite grains are identified by electron microprobe analysis ( EMPA ) by mapping concentration of distinctive Ce in monazite. 9. In less than hundreds of years, it reaches a level high enough to be measured accurately by an electron microprobe . 10. To analyze the composition, an electron microprobe was used in the wavelength-dispersion mode ( Hawthorn et al ., 2002 ).
