Three improvements, which we have investigated, promise to lead to a scanning ion microprobe with a space resolution of about 15 nm. The improvements are: (1) use of a field-evaporation (EHD) ion source with liquid gallium to give a brightness exceeding 10(10) A m-2 sr-1 at 21 KeV, (2) a high efficiency (10%) collecting system for secondary ions, and (3) enhancement of the secondary-ion yield by cesium deposition. With this instrument, tracing with stable isotopes would offer a number of advantages over autoradiography.
我们所研究的三项改进措施有望打造出一款空间分辨率约为15纳米的扫描离子微探针。这些改进措施包括：（1）使用配备液态镓的场蒸发（EHD）离子源，在21千电子伏特时亮度超过10¹⁰ 安·米⁻²·球面度⁻¹；（2）采用高效（10%）的二次离子收集系统；（3）通过铯沉积提高二次离子产率。借助该仪器，使用稳定同位素进行示踪将比放射自显影具有诸多优势。
