Summary:During many years a growing group of researchers has been involved in the study of meteorites. Meteorites are the only objects orginating from the solar system in its early stage and accessible to detailed research. Research on meteorites has been done with a wide variety of analytical techniques for the investigation of their chemical composition, structure and texture, presence of isotopic anomalies, radioactivity and so on. Since the development of the nuclear microprobe, this instrument also has been and is used as a probe for the investigation of meteorites. In this contribution, results of the ongoing research with the nuclear microprobe on meteorites is described.
