Method

Determination of Osmium isotope ratios which are used in several geochemical problems (e.g. Platinum-Osmium as well as Rhenium-Osmium dating of ore or rocks). Furthermore, there is also a high potential of this geochemical tracer in archaeology, in particular in determining the region from which metal artefacts originate.
