Abstract
The recently developed High Frequency Mode HFM of electron gas SNMS allows investigations on insulating samples with the well known advantages of the SNMS Direct Bombardment Mode DBM for the analysis of conducting samples. HFM has been applied to analyses of different historic ceramic and glass samples in order to demonstrate the possibilities of SNMS in this field. It is shown that manufacturing places of ceramic samples could be distinguished by SNMS mass spectra (“fingerprints”). Furthermore questions of the constituents of colour remains on a painted ceramic (“Kaisermedaillon”) could be answered by our SNMS analyses. SNMS investigations have been also applied to corrosion phenomena on different glass samples.
