Project description

The equipment that is applied for, comprises a disk mill and a carbon coater. The disk mill is a basic apparatus for the separation of a specific minerals from rocks, used in geochronological and isotropic studies. The carbon coater is an instrument that covers mineralogical samples with a carbon layer, required for the microchemical analysis with the SEM (scanning electron microscope).
