Renovation and Upgrading of Fluid Inclusion Laboratory

[01:72 . 24]该项目将对华盛顿州立大学的流体包裹体实验室进行改造和升级，该实验室与爱达荷大学一起作为区域研究设施。该设施被两所合作大学的学生和研究人员大量使用，在过去的20年里，包括45多篇硕士和博士论文。流体包裹体为许多过去和现在的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过程的研究中起着重要作用，也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用途包括研究花粉孢子、地热系统、构造地质学和经济地质学，尽管大多数研究都是针对矿床的。Meinert等人（1997）是最近发表的流体包裹体研究的一个例子，该研究展示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。该设备允许在透明和半透明材料中的流体包裹体的加热和冷冻温度的常规测量

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.***
