NanoMin: quantitative mineral mapping of nanoscale processes: The project seeks to establish an electron microscope-based mineral mapping and analysis facility to provide rapid, quantitative and statistically reliable mineralogical, petrographic and metallurgical data unobtainable by other means in fine-grained materials. The proposed equipment can identify minerals in complex mixtures of sub-µm-grain size materials by virtue of an integrated software and hardware system called NanoMin which incorporates a spectral deconvolution engine combined with a mineral spectra database. A key limitation in understanding complex materials is sub-micron to nanometer scale spatial variability of mineralogical phases. Imaging and quantifying these phases is now possible with the NanoMin system. This promises to open up petrological, geobiological, and materials science research in complex fine-grained materials.

NanoMin：纳米级过程的定量矿物测绘： 该项目旨在建立一个以电子显微镜为基础的矿物测绘和分析设施，以提供快速、定量和统计可靠的矿物学、岩相学和冶金学数据，这些数据在细粒材料中是无法通过其他手段获得的。拟议的设备可以通过名为NanoMin的集成软硬件系统识别亚微米级材料的复杂混合物中的矿物，该系统将光谱去卷积引擎与矿物光谱数据库结合在一起。理解复杂材料的一个关键限制是矿物相的亚微米到纳米尺度的空间变异性。现在，使用NanoMin系统可以对这些相进行成像和量化。这有望开启复杂细粒材料的岩石学、地球生物学和材料科学研究。
