SEM in Geological Core Analysis:

• High-Resolution Imaging: SEM offers high-resolution imaging capabilities, allowing for the visualization of geological features at the microscopic level. This includes studying grain size, shape, and the distribution of minerals within a core sample.
• Topographical Information: SEM can generate topographical data, which aids in identifying surface roughness, fractures, and pores in the core material.
• Mineralogical Analysis: SEM, when coupled with EDS, enables the identification of minerals present in the core sample based on their morphology and backscattered electron signals.
• Petrographic Characterization: SEM images provide valuable context for petrographic characterization, helping geologists understand the diagenetic history and the environment of deposition.

EDS in Geological Core Analysis:

• Elemental Analysis: EDS is used to determine the elemental composition of minerals and phases within the core sample. It quantifies the presence of elements from carbon to uranium.
• Point and Area Analysis: EDS allows for point and area analysis, enabling precise mapping of elemental distributions in a sample.
• Semi-Quantitative Analysis: EDS can provide semi-quantitative information about the concentration of elements, aiding in geochemical studies.
• Mineral Identification: When combined with SEM, EDS helps in the identification of minerals based on their characteristic elemental spectra.
