2018.06.11 Dr. Jen Chieh Shiao publishs new research

Our collaborator Dr. Jen-Chieh Shiao from Institue of Oceanography, National Taiwan University used NanoSIMS to analyze the nitrogen isotopic composition on otolith of tilapia which was cultivated with 15N-enriched algae. The results indicate the nitrogen isotopic signature of food could be recorded into otolith in the same day.

Project Description

The NanoSIMS Laboratory was established by a cooperative effort between Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Institute of Earth Science of Academia Sinica. The laboratory is primarily designed to probe the early Solar System by analysing extraterrestrial and terrestrial samples with CAMECA's NanoSIMS 50L. Located in Interdisciplinary Research Building for Science and Technology, Academia Sinica, it is the first NanoSIMS in Taiwan and was installed as the 33rd NanoSIMS in the world in November 2013. The laboratory is involved in numerous interdisciplinary collaborations with both domestic and international research groups. Current research activities cover cosmo, geo, life and material sciences.
