Fluid inclusion microthermometry laboratory
The Fluid inclusion microthermometry laboratory offers three fluid inclusion heating-freezing stages (-220 to +600°C), including the possibility of near-infrared microthermometry:
One Linkam THMSG 600 stage mounted on a Leica DMLB microscope, with 100x objective for microthermometry of transparent minerals ;
One USGS stage and one Linkham FTIR 600 stage mounted on an Olympus BH2 microscope, with 80x objective, for near-infrared microthermometry of opaque minerals, equipped with one Hamamatsu C2400 infrared camera and one Hitachi KP-161 CCD camera.
One high-temperature Linkam TS 1500 heating stage (up to 1500°C) for magmatic fluid inclusion and melt inclusion studies.
