Cross section of a magmatic zircon (age ~560 million years) taken at 5 kV
| | Cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging and spectroscopy has found many applications in the field of mineralogy, geology, ceramic materials research and the development of luminescent materials.
The results shown on this page were produced using the SUPRA™ and the SEMCL spectrometer system with an ellipsoide mirror collector. The high current density of the GEMINI® column delivered in the fine probe enables high resolution CL imaging at low kV. The stage and specimen chamber design of the SUPRA™ series offers ample space to adapt the SEMCL system without blocking other detectors. |
