Are you working with geological materials? Are you interested in learning about the most advanced techniques and tools to study your geological samples? Then join a two-day intensive workshop in Oslo, which will focus on advanced analytical tools and methods for geological applications. The workshop will consist of the lectures from invited speakers and hands-on sessions, which will cover cathodoluminescence (CL) tools & methods, EDS & EBSD tools & methods and mineralogy software.

This workshop is a joint collaboration between the leaders of the microscopy field Hitachi, Delmic, Bruker and the Geology department of the University of Oslo. The workshop will take place on the 16^th and 17^th of January 2019 at the University of Oslo and will consist of talks, intensive discussions and hands-on sessions, which will demonstrate the possibilities of the imaging tools. 

The first day of the workshop will start at 10 AM, and will include:

• Talk by Dr. Tobias Salge (Natural History Museum, London): "Macro, to Micro to Nanoscale Advanced SEM/EDS of Earth and Planetary Materials"

• Talk by Laurie Palasse (Bruker): "Complete characterization of mineralogical samples with EBSD and EDS integration"
  

• Talk by Toon Coenen (Delmic): "Cathodoluminescence imaging for geology"

• Hands-on demonstration: SU5000 + EDSD and EDS

• Facility Tour

• Lunch and dinner provided by the workshop organizers

The second day will start at 9 AM and will consist of:

• Talk by Robert Steffen (Hitachi): Sample preparation and BIB (technique and applications)

• Talk by Maarten Broekmans (Norwegian Geological Survey): TBD

• Hands-on demonstration: SU5000 + CL (SPARC system)

• Hands-on demonstration: Tabletop demo

• Lunch provided by the workshop organizers
