SIMS experiments use a UV laser shot at the sample to facilitate soft ionization by transferring energy from the laser to the analyte to form ions. Collision between the primary ions and sample result in formation of analyte ions. Ions generated by this technique are taken up by the mass spectrometer inlet.
