The focus of this review is on trace-element quantitation of microstructures in solids. This review is aimed at the nonspecialist who wants to know how secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) quantitation is achieved. Despite 35 years of SIMS research and applications, SIMS quantitation remains a fundamentally empirical enterprise and is based on standards. The most used standards are “bulk standards”—solids with a homogeneous distribution of a trace element—and ion-implanted solids. The SIMS systematics of bulk standards and ion-implanted solids are reviewed.

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) is among the most powerful laboratory tools available to the analytical geochemist. Its strength lies in SIMS’ ability to produce high precision trace element and isotope ratio data on sample masses as small as 100 picograms. The Helmholtz-Centre Potsdam GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences operates a fully equipped, large geometry SIMS instrument, which is supported by a comprehensive spectrum of peripheral instrumentation. This facility operates as an open user facility which supports the needs of the global geochemical community.
