Short course in SEM-based automated Mineralogy Fundamentals and Applications in Geosciences

25 – 27 February 2025

Automated mineralogy is an emerging field and has a wide range of applications in research and applied material and geosciences. It is based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image analysis coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). This analysis method includes analytical systems such as the Mineral Liberation Analyzer (MLA), the QEMSCAN (Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals by Scanning Electron Microscopy) and others. The mineralogy as well as textural characteristics (e.g. grain-size distributions) of samples can be quantitatively assessed. The automatization enables a high sample throughout and the generation of ‘big data’ that allow for statistically robust interpretation.

From February 25 to 27 2025 Laura Stutenbecker (Univ. Münster), Sabine Gilbricht (TU Berg-akademie Freiberg) and Joachim Krause (Helmholtz-Institute Freiberg for Resource Technology) will lead the short course “SEM-based automated mineralogy” at the Institute for Mineralogy of the TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany. The course will teach the basic principles of automated mineralogy and some hands-on exercises will highlight its applications in metamorphic, magmatic and sedimentary petrology as well as ore geology. The course will be held in English and is open to all interested students at the PhD or M.Sc. Level. If you are interested, please visit tinyurl.com/rdt28eem for more information.
