Microanalytical Analysis of Nano-Particulate Pressed Pellets made from Manganese Nodules

Manganese nodules have been of both scientific and industrial interest due to their high content of critical metals(i.e. Co, Ni, Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb). The dawn of new microanalytical techniques such as μXRF, LIBS and LA-ICP-MS has opened the possibilities of analysing these samples quantitatively and also visualising the elemental distribution in situ without tedious…

Work on foraminifera reference material underway

Together with the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ) we are developing nano-particulate pressed powder pellets made purely out of foraminifera to be used as a reference material for in situ microanalytical techniques. The starting material is an aliquot, provided by NIOZ, of NFHS-1 (NIOZ Foraminifera House Standard). It stems from a calcareous ooze,…
