Investigating Boracite and Quartz: Two Minerals with Similarities using Linkam's DSC600
The Linkam DSC600 stage allows direct coupling with optical methods, whether visual or spectroscopic. Particularly promising are combinations with UV/VIS, infrared, and Raman spectroscopy, as well as several X-ray techniques. In this way, additional information can be obtained simultaneously with thermoanalytical investigations, enabling a more comprehensive understanding of the processes involved.
Investigating the Simultaneous Optical and Thermoanalytical Monitoring of the Dehydration of Copper Sulphate Pentahydrate using Linkam's DSC600
