HIGH RESOLUTION GEOLOGIC SAMPLE SCANNING APPARATUS AND PROCESS OF SCANNING GEOLOGIC SAMPLES

摘要

An apparatus and process of analyzing samples using reflected and/or emitted radiation is described. The apparatus includes a means for containing the sample and moving the sample and/or a reflector at a uniform rate through a fixed plane. A radiation source irradiates the core sample. The reflected or emitted radiation is directed onto a detector means capable of forming electrical signals which are digitally encoded and recorded on a digital recorder for further interactive analysis and/or processing.
