Isotope+Ratio+Mass+Spectrometry

=Isotopic Ratio Analysis=

Authors: The King's Centre for Visualization in Science

The importance of isotopes is evident in many applications of isotope ratio mass spectrometry. Four applications are introduced through interactive lessons.

Questions addressed:
 * 1) How can 400,000 years of temperature data be determined from ice core samples?
 * 2) How can you tell if your honey has been diluted with sugar syrup?
 * 3) How is synthetic testosterone detected in atheletes?
 * 4) How do scientists discover where methane molecules are produced on earth and mars?
