Mössbauer spectrometer



A Mössbauer spectrometer is a device that performs Mössbauer spectroscopy, or a device that uses the Mössbauer effect to determine the chemical environment of a sample, typically Iron. See Mössbauer spectroscopy for more details.

Dr. Göstar Klingelhöfer at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany, developed a miniature Mössbauer Spectrometer, named (MB) MIMOS II, that was used by the two rovers in NASA's Mars Exploration Rover mission. [1][2][3]
