|---|---|---|
| Element quotas of individual Synechococcus cells collected during Bermuda Atlantic Time-series Study (BATS) cruises aboard the R/V Atlantic Explorer between dates 2012-07-11 and 2013-10-13 (Si_in_Syn project) | Abbreviation: SXRF For this dataset the model used was: Beamline:2-ID-D The instrument quantifies and maps elements (e.g. Si, Mn, Fe, Ni, S, P) in single cells. Used in the following paper to look at trace elements in aquatic protists: B. Twining, S. Baines, N. Fisher, J. Maser, S. Vogt, C. Jacobsen, A. Tovar-Sanchez, S. Sanudo-Wilhelmy; “Quantifying Trace Elements in Individual Aquatic Protist Cells with a Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence Microprobe”, Analytical Chemistry 2003, 75, 3806-3816. DOI: 10.1021/ac034227z | Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence Microprobe |
| Cellular trace elements collected on cruise RR1604 (GO-SHIP transect IO9N) in the Eastern Indian Ocean from March to April 2016 | synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) analysis | |
| Element quotas of individual plankton cells collected during IRNBRU (MV1405) and June 2015 Line P cruises | The 2-ID-E X-ray microprobe beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, was used for cellular element analysis. | 2-ID-E X-ray microprobe beamline |
| Cellular trace elements collected on cruise TN280 (GeoMICS project) along Line P in the NE Pacific in May 2012 | The 2-ID-E X-ray microprobe beamline at the Advanced Photon Source, Argonne National Laboratory, was used for cellular element analysis. | 2-ID-E X-ray microprobe beamline |
| Element quotas of individual phytoplankton cells from samples collected on the US GEOTRACES Arctic cruise GN01 (HLY1502) on USCGC Healy in August-October 2015 | SXRF analysis was performed on the 2-ID-E beamline at the Advanced Photon source (Argonne National Laboratory). The synchrotron consists of a storage ring which produces high energy electromagnetic radiation. X-rays diverted to the 2-ID-E beamline are used for x-ray fluorescence mapping of biological samples. X-rays were tuned to an energy of 10 keV to enable the excition of K-alpha fluorescence for the elements reported. The beam is focused using Fresnel zoneplates to achieve high spatial resolution; for our application a focused spot size of 0.5um was used. A multi-element germanium energy dispersive detector is used to record the X-ray fluorescence spectrum. | Synchrotron X-ray Fluorescence microscope |

| X-ray absorption spectroscopy data for particulate iron from R/V Thomas G. Thompson cruise TN303 in the Eastern Tropical Pacific from October to December 2013 | The speciation of particulate Fe in filter-bound hydrothermal plume particles was measured using micro-focused X-ray fluorescence mapping (u-XRF) and micro-focused Fe 1s X-ray absorption near edge structure (uXANES) spectroscopy at beamline 10.3.2 of the Advanced Light Source (ALS), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, U.S.A. | micro-focused X-ray fluorescence mapping |
| Cellular elemental content of individual phytoplankton cells collected during US GEOTRACES North Atlantic Transect cruises in the Subtropical western and eastern North Atlantic Ocean during Oct and Nov, 2010 and Nov. 2011 | SXRF analysis was performed on the 2-ID-E beamline at the Advanced Photon source (Argonne National Laboratory). The synchetron consists of a storage ring which produces high energy electromagnetic radiation. X-rays diverted to the 2-ID-E beamline are used for x-ray fluorescence mapping of biological samples. X-rays were tuned to an energy of 10 keV to enable the excition of K-alpha fluorescence for the elements reported.
