Description

A Micro X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometer is required for imaging geological specimens such as hand samples, thin sections, and drill core. The instrument will primarily study carbonate, iron formation, and igneous rocks and must analyze relevant periodic elements with automated mineral identification. The research aims to reconstruct the diagenetic history of sedimentary rocks and screen igneous rocks for zircon and baddeleyite crystals before mineral separation processes. The contract is expected to start on 2027/04/30 with a duration of 0 months.
