About the event
Tescan will highlight two complementary solutions for modern geoanalysis: Tescan TIMA automated mineralogy and Tescan micro-CT technologies.
Together, these technologies help researchers investigate geological materials across multiple dimensions, combining information about mineral composition, texture, and three-dimensional internal structure.
From Mineral Identification to 3D Insight
Understanding geological samples often requires more than observing what is visible on the surface.
Tescan TIMA supports automated mineralogical analysis, helping researchers rapidly identify, characterize, and quantify mineral phases and their relationships within complex samples. By turning microscopic information into quantitative data, TIMA supports more efficient and comprehensive geological investigations.
Complementing this capability, Tescan X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT) provides a non-destructive view into the internal structure of geological specimens. Detailed 3D visualization enables researchers to investigate textures, pores, fractures, inclusions, and other features hidden beneath the surface without compromising the sample.
