Renovation and Upgrading of Fluid Inclusion Laboratory

这个项目将翻新和升级华盛顿州立大学的流体包裹体实验室，该实验室是爱达荷州大学的地区性研究设施。这一设施被两所合作大学的学生和研究人员大量使用，在过去的20年里，包括45篇硕士和博士论文。流体包裹体提供了许多过去和现在地质系统的热液特征的直接证据。流体包裹体在许多地质过程的研究中起到了重要作用，是大多数矿床研究的标准组成部分。华盛顿州立大学的流体包裹体实验室的使用范围从研究花粉孢子到地热系统，到构造地质学，再到经济地质学，尽管大多数研究都是关于矿藏的。Meinert等人。(1997)是最近发表的一项流体包裹体研究的一个例子，证明了该实验室的能力和用途。新设备包括Linkham加热/冷冻工作台和辅助红外显微镜/视频设备。该设备允许对透明和半不透明材料中的流体包裹体的加热和冻结温度进行常规测量。

0207247MeinertThis project will renovate and upgrade the fluid inclusion laboratory at Washington State University, which serves as a regional research facility with the University of Idaho. This facility is heavily used by students and researchers at the two cooperating universities, including more than 45 M.S. and Ph.D. theses in the past 20 years. Fluid inclusions provide direct evidence of the hydrothermal characteristics of many past and present geological systems. Fluid inclusions have been instrumental in the study of many geologic processes and are a standard part of most studies of ore deposits. Use of the fluid inclusion laboratory at Washington State University ranges from studies of pollen spores, to geothermal systems, to structural geology, to economic geology, although the majority of studies have been of ore deposits. Meinert et al. (1997) is an example of a recently published fluid inclusion study that demonstrates the capabilities and use of the lab. The new equipment includes a Linkham heating/freezing stage and supporting IR microscope/video equipment. This equipment allows the routine measurement of heating and freezing temperatures of fluid inclusions in both transparent and semi-opaque materials.***
