Application of the Linkam TS1400XY heating stage to melt inclusion studies

Melt inclusions offer a direct method to study magmatic processes and the evolution of magmatic systems, including the determination of volatile content in a magma body before an eruption. Various techniques, such as heating in one-atmosphere furnaces, high-pressure vessels, and microscope-mounted high-temperature stages, are used to homogenize MI for analysis. Discover how the Linkam TS1400XY heating stage revolutionises the study of melt inclusions with its exceptional ability to homogenize melt inclusions and swiftly quench the homogeneous melt into a glass, it opens up new possibilities for research and exploration.
