The key point of this paper is to explore the limits of very high resolution spatial analysis of samples. This is achieved using 100fs pulses and a very small focal spot. Craters of 450nm where achieved while still detecting Na and K in a Mica sample. Detection limits as low as 220 10^-18g (6 10^6 atoms) for Na and 4.2 10^-15 g (3.2 10^7 atoms) for K were achieved. |
