COSIMA stands for COmetary Secondary Ion Mass Analyzer a Time-Of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometer (TOF-SIMS), [Kissel et al. 2007]. COSIMA is
dedicated to collect dust particles in the neighborhood of a comet, to make
images of them and to analyzes them by TOF-SIMS for getting information about
the elemental, chemical and isotopic composition of the surface of the
particles. Kissel J., et al.: Space
