The core of this laboratory is a Microscope Slide Scanner, which provides high-resolutions scans of thin sections or other microscopic samples. These virtual samples can be analyzed digitally in the Zeiss ZEN software and are used to get detailed overviews of samples, to make publication-quality figures, and to do more advanced image analysis. The scanner is complemented by two high-end petrographic microscopes. All instruments are part of the Goldschmidt Laboratory.
