Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)

Using SEM we are able to magnify objects to the nanometre scale. The high magnification reveals intricate details. Dr Lynne uses this technique on rocks to: track subsurface changes over time; observe fracture infill; document hydrothermal alteration; determine subsurface temperature and pH. 

Ideal for mapping soil health, soil elemental composition and the identification of fungi, bacteria, clay particles  (CEC) and soil texture morphology (porosity).

Learning this tool requires both knowledge of it’s operation, geothermal processes and their signatures. In this course you will have access to Dr Lynne’s 20 years of experience and educational material on this topic.
