Question orientated analyses are the key for success. Light microscopy for the determination of morphological parameters of single particles >2.5 µm in diameter. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the determination of morphological parameters of single particles >20 nm in diameter. STEM detector for the determination of morphology of particles < 100 nm in diameter. Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) for the determination of the chemical composition of single particles. X-ray diffraction for the determination of the mineralogy of the total dust (bulk sample). X-ray fluorescence for the determination of the chemical composition of the total dust (bulk sample). We offer further numerous systematic analyses in cooperation with our partners.
