Summary

Experiments with a LAMMA-500 instrument were performed in order to test whether or not thin sections of soils with a thickness of more than 15 Μm could be analysed with this instrument. Although the usual thickness of the specimens for this instrument lies between 0.1–1 Μm, it was possible to analyse such thick sections by application of laser milling in which the laser beam was aimed at grazing incidence onto the edge of the section. In this way a path was cleared through the section by erosion and the material that sputtered away along this path could be analysed.
