Geological Applications

The first Linkam stage was designed for the geological field. Since then we have developed a range of stages that have been used to gain a better understanding of our planet and its geology. From fluid inclusions and minerals to volcanic rock, Linkam stages have been used to characterise a wide range of different sample types.

Our stages can control a temperature range from < -195°C up to 1500°C. The environment within the chamber can also be controlled with the option of gas purging, controlled vacuum, pressure or humidity.

Linkam systems are compatible with light microscopy and spectroscopy techniques including Raman, FT-IR and X-ray.
