TESCAN Webinar:

Introducing the New TESCAN TIMA for Geosciences

On demand

ENGLISH

In November 2020, TESCAN announced the release of the new generation of TESCAN TIMA, a dedicated solution for automated mineralogical analysis in Earth Science studies as well as for industrial mineral processing. TIMA contributes to a wide array of applications ranging from petrography, metallurgy, liberation analysis, and provenance studies, even outside of geoscience.

In this seminar you will learn that:

  • TIMA is a user-friendly solution for executing petrographic workflows such as mineral identification and quantification, as well as localization of petrogenetically significant phases or their pairs based on their textural relationships, morphology, or association.
  • TIMA can be the first step in complex analytical workflows followed by EPMA or LA ICPMS studies.
  • TIMA is configured with an integrated Raman spectrometer, allowing direct identification of polymorphic modifications without the need to transfer the samples to other instruments.
  • TIMA can provide a quantitative composition of both the individual mineral grains in relation to their morphology, as well as bulk composition of the entire sample.

In this webinar, we will discuss applications in geosciences and show how TIMA’s features and workflows support accurate, automated mineralogical analysis.
