Renovation and Upgrading of Fluid Inclusion Laboratory

0207247 Meinert该项目将改造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区域研究设施。 该设施被两所合作大学的学生和研究人员大量使用，其中包括45多名硕士。和博士在过去的20年里。 流体包裹体为许多过去和现在地质系统的热液特征提供了直接证据。流体包裹体在许多地质作用的研究中起着重要作用，是大多数矿床研究的标准组成部分。华盛顿州立大学流体包裹体实验室的应用范围从花粉孢子研究到地热系统、构造地质学、经济地质学，尽管大多数研究都是矿床研究。Meinert等人（1997）是最近发表的流体包裹体研究的一个例子，证明了实验室的能力和用途。 新设备包括Linkham加热/冷冻台和配套的红外显微镜/视频设备。 该设备可用于常规测量透明和半透明材料中流体包裹体的加热和冻结温度。*

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.***
