Petrology Division
The Institute offers the following instruments placed in Petrology Division as a Central Facility:
  • Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA - CAMECA - SX-100) for quantification of element concentrations in minerals, WD spectra of minerals and image profiling of elements of minerals.
  • X-ray Diffractometer (PANanlytical, X-Pert PRO) for identification of different phases of minerals and compounds.
  • Inductively Coupled Plasma and Atomic Emission Spectrophotometer (ICP-AES-JOBIN YVON JY-70 Plus) for determination of major, trace and rare earth elements.
  • Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ELAN-DRC-E) for determination of major, trace and rare earth elements.
  • Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS-Varian-880) with flame and graphite furnace for determining of major and trace elements.
  • X-Ray Fluorescence Sequential Spectrometer (XRF-Siemens SRS-3000) for determination of major and trace elements in rocks/materials.
  • Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM- Zeiss EVO 40 with EDAX attachment) to study the surface morphology of micro fossils, minerals and ore minerals.
  • Laser Raman Micro Probe - (Horiba Jobin Yvan - High Resolution) for identification polyatomic species in solid, liquid and gas phases, and for minerals and fluid studies.
