Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectrometers: Employ ultraviolet and visible light to detect the electronic characteristics of a mineral, aiding in the identification of metals and other colored minerals. The emitted X-rays have energies characteristic of the specific elements in the sample, allowing for rapid elemental analysis. Infrared (IR) Spectrometers: Analyze the. The measurement and study of responses in which a mineral absorbs, reflects, changes, or emits electromagnetic waves is called spectroscopy. The TerraSpec® 4 Hi-Res mineral analyzer introduces new levels of efficiency to mineral exploration. Now the upgraded TerraSpec 4 Hi-Res mineral analyzer brings new levels of efficacy to mineral exploration technology. A thin section of contact metamorphosed Leadville Limestone from Colorado, USA was sectioned, polished, mounted to a glass slide, and final polished.
