Cathodoluminescence images made using
a CL device attached to a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
sandstones | zircons | volcanics | intrusives | metamorphics |
Most of these images were taken using a monochromator which allows successive images to be combined to form a color image of the luminescence. Technical details are available.
Note: since I've graduated, this site exists at the whim of the geology computing staff. Hopefully, it will be around for a while, but don't count on it.
