In the Earth Sciences, state of the art analytical equipment is used that allows for the characterization of Earth materials from the centimetre to the nanometre scales. ISTE hosts analytical facilities for in-situ measurements of chemical, textural and isotope geochemical data (high resolution ion microprobe SIMS 1280, Laser ablation ICP-MS, Electron Microprobe, NanoSIMS, EBSD, SEM, Cathodoluminescence imaging, Raman spectroscopy, Microtomography, X-ray diffraction) and facilities that allow for bulk geochemical analysis (X-ray fluorescence, organic carbon analysis, mercury and phosphorus analysis, and C-H-N analysis).
