ACCESS HIGHLIGHT AT IESL-FORTH: Micro-LIBS imaging of mollusc shells: a window to the past
In a recent article in Scientific Reports, resulting from a Laserlab-Europe transnational access project, scientists at IESL-FORTH, collaborating with the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History and the School of Geography, University of Melbourne, have shown that LIBS microscopy enables extensive elemental mapping of mollusc shells, providing an insight into the rich environmental archives contained in such specimens.
