... For SIMS (Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry) analysis, a solid surface is bombarded by primary ions of some keV energy. ... The subsequent mass analysis of the emitted ions provides detailed information on the elemental and molecular composition of the surface. ... Extremely short ion pulses with a duration below . ... By rastering a fine-focussed ion beam over the surface, like an electron beam in an electron microprobe, mass resolved secondary ion images (chemical maps) can be obtained...

... An Infrared Camera Reduction/Analysis Package S. J. Chan Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Madingley Road, Cambridge, CB3 0HA, United Kingdom Abstract. An infraredнarray reduction and analysis package which is written in the IRAF environment has been developed to handle the huge amount of data obtained at the Teide Observatory using the 1.5 m Carlos SТanchez Telescope with the new infrared Camera/Instituto de AstrofТРsica de Canarias(IRCAM/IAC). ... IRCAM Package 2.1. ...

Next: Further Off-line Analysis Up: Off-line Reduction Previous: Combining Images . Mosaicing is the name applied to the process by which images of astronomical targets are combined in such a way that the positions of the objects are matched up. ... Overall parameters for the mosaicing routines can be examined using SHOW/CCD MO and set using SET/CCD MO . More extensive documentation on the mosaicing routines is supplied in the chapter on CCD reductions, Chapter . ...

... overview of pyQC . ... output used by . ... All pyQC scripts and modules share a similar structure. Python offers to group functions, classes, etc. into modules which can be imported by different scripts. ... In order to avoid confusion if names are used by different (especially external) modules, the QC scripts use the 'from' statement only for pyQC modules, i.e.: . ... For other modules, the simple 'import' statement is used: . ... Python modules are also used for keeping script configuration. ...
