FIELD PORTABLE XRD
"Terra",
is the first truly portable combination XRF/XRD system designed specifically
for rock and mineral analysis. Now “field work” can really be done in the
field. Terra can be configured with everything you need to acquire and analyze
diffraction data in a rugged compact case. With our patented sample handling
system not only is sample preparation time minimized but accuracy in peak
identification previously only available using laboratory based systems can be
achieved.
XRD
is the technique of choice for accurate identification of minerals, while
XRF adds elemental information frequently essential for accurate phase
ID. XRD data from Terra can be readily analyzed using the
software of a laboratory XRD instrument, or third party applications
like Jade (MDI), XPowder, Match! (Crystal Impact), CrystalSleuth
(Univ. of Arizona), etc. Identification of phases also requires the use
of a library such as the ICDD Powder Diffraction Files or the American
Mineralogist Crystal Structure Databases.
