<p>A new external microprobe beamline for irradiation experiments has been
commissioned and constructed at the Louisiana Accelerator Center. This
microprobe was designed to use the Oxford Triplet lens con?guration with no
scanning system. The beamline was designed to allow for the post focus expansion
of the ion beam to create an even ?led of current distribution at a sample. The
samples are irradiated in air in a glove box so that a Biosaftey-Level 2 (BSL-2)
environment is created, reducing risk of contamination for biological sample
irradiation. The nature of a microprobe allows the ?ux, and therefore the dose, to
be su?ciently low for space radiation studies. The beamline was designed using
WinTRAX [18] and constriction has been completed. This thesis is an overview of
what a microprobe is, how the new microprobe was designed, and how the beamline
was constricted.
