This paper describes the scanning nuclear microprobe facilities established at the Shanghai Institute of Nuclear Research. The Russion quadruplet constructed with four magnetic quadrupolets is used for microbeam formation. The long focus of the lens makes the working distance long enough to accommodate the scanning coils and the detectors for PIXE, RBS, RFS, NRA and SE experiments. A 5 µ m focussed beam is scanned continously by a pair of coils. A multiparameter multidetector data system for the nuclear microprobe is based on the idea of Total quantitative scanning analysis (TQSA) suggested by Melbourne University. A digital graphic displayer is a good substitute for an ordinary storage oscilloscope for on- line scanned area monitoring. The new microprobe meets high demands of biologists and geologists on applications.
