Beckman Coulter Laser Particle Sizer LS1230: <\/strong>This is an instrument that allows accurate analyses of a very large range of particle sizes (between 2mm and 0.04\u00b5m). Analyses can be performed on both dry and wet sediment since the instrument is equipped with both a vacuum-based dry module and a liquid module. Its proprietary software archives grain size data and performs many statistical analyses that can be obtained while running the sample.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hitachi Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) with INCA Energy 250 Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrometer (EDX):\u00a0<\/strong>The instrument is a modern low-vacuum Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDX). This instrument functions as a fundamental component of the modern microanalysis of biological (e.g. skeletal structures and otoliths) and geological (e.g. sediments and rocks) material as well as other structural materials.<\/p>\n

Trimble VX Spatial Station:\u00a0<\/strong>This is a sophisticated, state-of-the-art ground-based robotic infrared laser scanner equipped with a high-resolution digital camera (link photo\/figure). The machine (a Trimble VX Spatial Station) is composed of an infrared laser unit capable of Direct Reflex (DR) technology (no target required), a direct drive system with robotic servo-mechanisms and a built-in digital camera. The instrument is operated via radio-link by a controller unit, can acquire accurate (<3 mm), multiple (15 points\/s) spatial data (point clouds).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
