The GML has been a constant feature in the School of Environmental Sciences for more than 20 years. It regroups several techniques dedicated to the analysis of the "small world": structure, size, composition.

The facility, located in ENV 0.48, consists of the following components (for further details please click on the links):

  • The Scanning Electron Microscopy Laboratory (SEM)
    The SEM laboratory is equipped with a JEOL JSM 5900LV, producing chemical and/or topographic contrast pictures. An Energy Dispersive and a Wavelength Dispersive Spectrometer have been added to allow qualitative to quantitative analysis at micro and macroscopic levels.
  • The X-ray Fluorescence Laboratory (XRF)
    The XRF laboratory is equipped with a Brucker AXS S4 Pioneer spectrometer, providing elemental analysis, qualitative to quantitative, from traces to majors.
  • The Microscope Laboratory
    The Microscope laboratory contains 10 microscopes, including a cathodoluminescence system, a petrology unit and several binoculars.
