Microscopy

The microscopy lab comprises facilities for reflected-light microscopy for organic petrography.

Reflected light microscopy is applied in the field of organic petrography for the reconstruction of facies, determination of thermal maturity and determination of oil and/or gas potential. Possible modes of illumination are white light illumination and UV light illumination as well as reflection measurements.
