Abstract: | Over the past twenty years, successive technological advances have transformed the Re-Os isotopic system into one of the most powerful tools in isotope geochemistry. We present here a brief historical review of these advances and then describe and compare the methods most commonly used today. Our goal is to facilitate the choice of the analytical method best adapted to each specific scientific problem and sample type. |
