Abstract
Meteorites, are the primitive extraterrestrial witness of the early history of the Solar System. Studying
them carries information about the formation and evolution processes of planetesimal in the early solar system.
The goal of our study is to determine the elemental, mineral and organic compositions, as well as their respective 2D&3D distributions, on a fragment of “Paris” meteorite without any chemical
extraction.
For this purpose, we have combined classical techniques used by astrophysicists with Ion Beam Analyses (PIXE, μ-PIXE, RBS), and 2D and 3D mass spectrometry techniques (TOF-SIMS).
In addition to this study, our seminar aims to shed light on some special applications of imaging mass spectrometry technique in the analysis of a painting by Nicolas Poussin from the 17th century, banknotes and commercial pharmaceuticals. During this seminar, we will discuss the complementarity of multi techniques use, highlighting their respective advantages and limitations.
