Fission Track Laboratory Facilities
Fission track mineral separation and sample preparation
Our fission track mineral separation and sample preparation facilities, intended primarily for Stanford faculty, staff, students and visitors include rock crusher, rock grinder, Gemeni table, sieves, Ro-tap, drying ovens, fume hoods, Frantz electrodynamic separators, LMT and MEI apparatus (heavy liquid density separations), binocular microscopes, etc. For further information, please contact Carrie Whitehill (whitehil@pangea.stanford.edu)
Fission track sample preparation facilities include epoxy and teflon grain mounting, slide grinding wheels, slide polishing wheels, fume hoods. All other specialized fission track sample preparation facilities are also available. Please contact Trevor Dumitru (trevor@pangea.stanford.edu).
Fission track microscope facilities:
We have a Zeiss Axioskop microscope specially configured for FT work; 32.5x. 125x, 250x, 625x, and 1250x magnifications; transmitted and reflected light; objectives designed for use without cover-slips; no polarized light capability. The microscope is fitted with a drawing tube and computerized digitizing system which permits measurements of track lengths with an accuracy of 0.15 microns. The microscope is also fitted with a computer-automated stage system which permits locating and relocating objects with an accuracy of 3 microns. For further information, contact Trevor Dumitru (trevor@pangea.stanford.edu)
