Understanding geological processes requires chemical information at scales ranging from whole samples to individual mineral grains and microscopic features. Our analytical technologies provide major-to-trace elemental analysis, isotopic measurements, and 3D chemical imaging directly from geological samples, enabling researchers to investigate their composition, origin, age, and evolution.
Geochronology & Isotope Analysis
Determine the age, origin, and geological history of minerals and rocks through spatially resolved isotopic analysis.
Trace Element & Mineral Analysis
Characterize trace elements, elemental signatures, and mineral chemistry to investigate geological processes and geochemical evolution.
Chemical Imaging & Spatial Analysis
Visualize the distribution of elements across minerals, rocks, and geological structures. 2D and 3D chemical imaging with precise laser targeting enables analysis of individual grains, growth zones, inclusions, interfaces, and other microscopic features important to understanding geological history and processes.
Provenance & Material Fingerprinting
Reveal the origin and history of geological materials through complementary chemical signatures. Combining major-to-trace elemental information with isotopic measurements provides a more comprehensive chemical fingerprint for provenance, source correlation, and geological interpretation.
