The Spectral Evolution oreXpress Miniprobe has a 3 mm spot that allows geologists in the field or the core shack to pinpoint features of interest on a sample for identification. The Miniprobe is designed to work with SPECTRAL EVOLUTION’S oreXpress field spectrometer for portable mineral identification and analysis.
The Miniprobe allows geologists to identify minerals in a smaller area than the traditional 10mm spot available with the mineral contact probe. It’s easy to hold and use with an external trigger for fast and comfortable scanning:
- Unique, comfortable low reflectance, impact resistant ABS thermoplastic body
- Light touch, tactile feel, pushbutton trigger for data collection
- Metal clad fibre optic cable with quick disconnect
- Lightweight, easy to carry and easy to hold and use all day
- 5W halogen lkight source for built-in illumination
- Plugs directly into the oreXpress™ or other Spectral Evolution spectrometers or spectroradiometers
- Ideal for mineral reflectance studies especially on very small sample features
The Miniprobe is indispensable for samples where minerals of interest are only present in tiny areas. It allows geologist to focus on smaller areas of interest in a sample or core and see accurate, high resolution scans. Combined with the EZ-ID mineral identification software it can help identify important mineral alteration and isolate components in mixtures.
