What can a meteorite tell us? (Young Talents Making Way)
Investigating how we can peek into the origin of the Solar System thanks to ancient meteorites.. The composition of primordial meteorites, known as chondrites, is investigated in order to better understand the origins of the Solar System. Chondrites can be analyzed thanks to highly sophisticated sensors, such as the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS), the Scanning Electron Microscope coupled with Energy Dispersive x-ray Spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and the Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA). Here we discuss the precision of these sensors in order to preserve the nature of the sample and improve efficiency of analyses.
