Abstract
A workshop on practical problems in biological applications of micro-PIXE analysis was held in one of the evening sessions at the 8th International Conference on Nuclear Microprobe Technology and Application which was held in Takasaki, Japan, throughout September 8-13, 2002. We summarize the participants' exchange of observations and suggestions on technical aspects of biological sample target preparation and specimen damage due to beam irradiation, which occur in micro-PIXE analysis under vacuum.
