With microdiffraction you can analyse smaller spots in-situ without grinding to a powder, for information that can be missed by powder analysis.
It’s now much easier to achieve high quality results with SEM-based cathodoluminescence, with the new Gatan Monarc. This has valuable applications in geology and geoscience, for rocks and minerals analysis.
How to analyse elemental distribution in rocks with XRF. In this case study we look at columbite-tantalite (coltan) in rocks from Canada, with the Bruker S8 TIGER Series 2 WDXRF spectrometer. Blue Scientific is the official distributor for Bruker XRF in the Nordic region (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland). For more information or quotes, please get in […]
A fast and accurate method for iron ore grade control, using the Bruker S8 TIGER WDXRF spectrometer and GEOQUANT.
How Raman spectroscopy can be used as an analytical tool in geology and mineralogy, and how it can be combined with SEM for structural and chemical analysis.
An overview of micro-CT applications in geology, for studying porosity, mineral distribution and structure in rock samples and drill cores.
Micro-XRF has many applications in geology for elemental and mineral analysis, and is faster and more cost-effective than alternative methods.
Bruker Webinar: Automated Mineral Analysis with Micro-XRF Join Bruker for a webinar about automated mineral analysis using micro-XRF on Thursday 15th December 2016. The webinar will be presented twice at different times (details below). The webinar will cover automated identification and quantification of minerals and synthetic phases, using the Bruker M4 TORNADO and AMICS software. Blue Scientific is […]
4D micro-CT (Micro-Computed Tomography or 3D X-ray imaging) involves imaging dynamic processes over time. This article explains step-by-step time-lapse and real-time methods, and how they can be used in geology and geoscience to image processes in rocks. These methods can also be used in other areas; If you have any questions just get in touch. Author: […]
