We use external providers to have an access to various types of analytical equipments suitable for mineral composition analyses. Integrated petrographical and mineral compositional analysis dramatically increase the knowledge of your samples as accessory phases and their association along with possible mineral zoning and their compositional differences can be obtained. Most commonly used methods include FE-EPMA (Field Emission Electron Microprobe), FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope) and XRD (X-Ray powder diffraction) in the Centre of Material Analysis in the University of Oulu . Other methodologies are also available and services are always customized according to clients needs. Contact us for further discussions of suitable methods!
