the MAGIC lab at the 91±¬ΑΟ! This facility houses an ESI NWR193<sup>UC<\/sup>&nbsp;193 nm excimer laser ablation system coupled with an Agilent 8900 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (ICP-QQQ-MS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This system was installed in May of 2018 and is used to analyze trace elements and isotopes in a variety of solid materials, from rocks to forams. The MAGIC lab is a collaboration between SECS faculty and the Climate Change Institute at the 91±¬ΑΟ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The NWR193<sup>UC<\/sup>&nbsp;is equipped with a TV3 large format cell, which can accommodate solid samples up to 8\u00d78 cm. A flexible infinitely variable aperture enables analysis spot sizes ranging from 1\u2013150 \u00b5m in 1 \u00b5m increments. The rotating XYR aperture allows for square and rectangular ablations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id11571_691bcf-6f{margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;}.kb-row-layout-id11571_691bcf-6f > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id11571_691bcf-6f > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id11571_691bcf-6f > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:24px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:24px;padding-left:0px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id11571_691bcf-6f > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id11571_691bcf-6f > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-right:50px;padding-left:50px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id11571_691bcf-6f > .kt-row-column-wrap{padding-right:25px;padding-left:25px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id11571_691bcf-6f alignnone has-white-background-color kt-row-has-bg um-UMBlueInfoBoxPair wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{padding-top:20px;padding-right:30px;padding-bottom:30px;padding-left:30px;}.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{background-color:#e5f0f9;}.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f{text-align:center;}.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column11571_55e668-4f > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column11571_55e668-4f inner-column-1\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\">\n<p>We welcome users from all over!
