Unlocking Geological Secrets: Advanced Mineral Analysis and 3D Imaging with Raman Microscopy

Tired of slow, destructive sample analysis?

Raman microscopy is revolutionizing geology by providing fast, non-destructive, and hyper-detailed structural insights into geological materials. This webinar moves beyond basic mineral identification to explore the cutting edge of what is possible, giving you the tools to uncover hidden compositional and structural secrets.

We will demonstrate how modern Raman instruments provide unparalleled clarity, enabling you to:

• Differentiate polymorphs and instantly identify crystalline structures that traditional methods miss.
• Determine crystal orientation with precision using polarization features—no X-ray diffraction required!
• Calculate gas pressures in fluid and gas inclusions based on subtle Raman band shifts.
• Visualize the subterranean: See how we reconstruct 3D images of mineral distributions (like titania polymorphs) within solid inclusions.

We will showcase real-world advanced applications, including crystallographic analysis, crystalline lattice deformation in materials like zircon, and direct comparison with traditional XRD data. Join us to learn how to transform your mineral and material characterization workflow.

Attendees will gain practical, applied knowledge on how to leverage Raman spectroscopy for:

• Polymorph Identification: Rapidly distinguishing crystalline structures (e.g., anatase, rutile, brookite).
• Crystallographic Axis Determination: Pinpointing crystal orientation using polarization Raman.
• Structural Strain Analysis: Analyzing crystalline lattice deformation (demonstrated with zircon).
• Inclusion Analysis: Advanced Raman techniques for characterizing solid, fluid, and gas inclusions.
• 3D Compositional Mapping: Reconstructing high-resolution 3D images of mineral distributions.

This webinar is essential for researchers, scientists, and professionals who demand high-resolution, non-destructive analysis in:

• Mineralogy and Petrology
• Crystallography and Materials Science
• Pore Fluid and Inclusion Analysis
