RMS Geology Conference 2021

Microscopy and Microanalysis in Geological and Archaeological Sciences (Online Event)

A virtual event on 9-10 November 2021 from RMS about microscopic imaging and microanalysis of geological and archaeological materials (free to attend).

Crystal Orientation in Geology

Studying Crystal Orientation in Geology with Cathodoluminescence Polarisation-Filtered Spectrum Imaging

Cathodoluminescence can be used to study crystal structure orientation – in this example we look at how it can be used on a geological sample.

SIMS for Geochronology

Geochronology with LG-SIMS at the Swedish Museum of Natural History

The Swedish Museum of Natural History used SIMS to determine that rock samples from India were formed around 1,850 million years ago. Previously it was thought that dating this type of sample wasn’t possible!

Mining

Trace Analysis of Geological Materials with XRF

Precise, accurate trace analysis of geological materials including rocks, minerals & soils with the Bruker S8 TIGER Series 2 WD_XRF & GEO-QUANT Traces, a dedicated solution package.

SIMS & APT in Geology

APT and SIMS in Geology and Geoscience

How APT (Atom Probe Tomography) and SIMS can be used in the fields of geology and geoscience, with examples from geochronology, mining and meteorite research.

Meteorite

SIMS Meteorite Research Reveals the Origin of Water on Earth

In new research about the origin of water on Earth, SIMS analysis has revealed that enstatite meteorites contain sufficient hydrogen for at least three times the mass of water in the oceans. The research at CRPG Nancy (Research Center Pétrographiques Et Géochimiques) in France used SIMS technology from CAMECA. Blue Scientific is the official distributor […]

Studying Graphitisation with Raman

Studying Graphitisation and Graphite Crystallinity with Raman Spectroscopy

How the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) used Raman spectroscopy to study graphitisation temperature and measure graphite crystallinity, relevant to battery development.

Analysing Mineral Composition in Rocks

Analyse Mineral Composition in Geology and Mining with Micro-XRF

How to analyse mineral composition with micro-XRF, to understand the origin and formation of rocks in geoscience. This information is useful in various fields of geology and mining, including aluminium, steel, gold and diamonds. Blue Scientific is the official distributor for Bruker Micro-XRF in the UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. For more information or […]
