The new Sandia light ion microbeam

The GSI heavy ion microbeam

A Laser Microbeam Implemented at the Heavy-Ion Microbeam Facility

The heavy-ion microbeam is used for targeted irradiation of living cells (in culture) with ions from the UNILAC linear accelerator of GSI [1]. A custom-made epifluorescence microscope is available for beam targeting as well as for observation of proteins (tagged by fluorescent dyes) in sub-compartments of interest. In order to gain better insight into DNA damage repair processes, we intend to e...

The Columbia University single-ion microbeam.

A single-ion microbeam facility has been constructed at the Columbia University Radiological Research Accelerator Facility. The system was designed to deliver defined numbers of helium or hydrogen ions produced by a van de Graaff accelerator, covering a range of LET from 30 to 220 keV/microm, into an area smaller than the nuclei of human cells growing in culture on thin plastic films. The beam ...
