Assembling complex mineral phases with XRD and XRF
Complete analysis of plagioclase and potassic feldspars Geochemistry typically encounters several mineral types from one sampling. This is true in the case of analyzing Martian analog basalt from terrestrial craters. A sample of basalt collected from craters of the Moon National Monument, Idaho, US, was studied with XRD and XRF….
Seeing is Believing
Something you need to see, to believe Increasing productivity is a consistent message that isn’t always backed by performance, making claims difficult to believe. QAQC labs often fall short of their productivity goals for a variety of reasons; interruptions, need for new workflows, manual steps, tedious sample prep, re-work, and…
