Modern mineral identification techniques: Part I. WDS and EDS
|
In order to identify obscure and unusual species today it is usually necessary to go well beyond the "classical mineralogy" techniques many of us learned in past decades. Wavelength Dispersive Spectroscopy and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy are among the most useful modern techniques.
INTRODUCTION
While one's powers of observation are still fundamentally critical, simple physical properties are usually insufficient to accurately assign a species name to many specimens. Perhaps the greatest limiting factor (at least in my own case) is my own increasing curiosity regarding smaller and smaller ...
