LCGM Laboratory for Characterization of Geological Materials (FCUP,
Portugal)
Fluid Inclusions Laboratory:
Fluid inclusions analysis
• Description of different fluid inclusion populations.
Microthermometry (Th, Tm)
• Salinity and minimal temperature of entrapment.
Raman microspectrometry/spectroscopy
• Concentration of gases (CH4, CO2,
N2).
• Identification of mineral phases.
The laboratory is equipped with a Chaixmeca and Linkam stages, cooled
and heated (-180°C to 600°C) by automated temperature regulation and by
a Horiba Jobin-Yvon LabRAM spectrometer (632.8 nm, He-Ne laser) coupled
to an Olympus microscope.
Raman Laboratory:
Raman spectroscopy analysis
• Identification and characterization of mineral phases.
Raman spectrometry analysis
• Concentration of gases in fluid inclusions (CH4,
CO2, N2).
The laboratory is equipped with a LabRAM and XploRATM microspectrometers
(Horiba Jobin Yvon) for localized analysis, sample mapping and combined
Raman spectroscopy/microthermometry analysis. The available excitation
wavelengths are 532 nm, 632.8 nm, and 785 nm.
