Visit our stand to find out about our instruments for geology:

Measuring pore network thickness

Mineral Analysis with AMICS

Micro-CT

  • Non-destructive 3D X-ray imaging
  • Virtual flights and slices through your sample
  • Analyse 3D mineral distribution, porosity, dynamic processes and more

Micro-CT in geology & geoscience

Micro-XRF

  • Element mapping and analysis
  • Study spatial mineral distibution, structure and composition
  • Faster and more cost-effective than SEM-EDS
  • Detect light elements down to carbon

Micro-XRF in geology

Gold deposit - ore geology

Rock can be segmented into mineral fractions with micro-CT (especially useful for studying ores). This gold deposit was scanned in 29 mins with the Bruker SkyScan 1275 (9 µm pixel size).

Micro-XRF in Geology

Light element detection enables clear differentiation between materials such as fluorite and calcite, which were previously indistinguishable with micro-XRF. More info…
