Automated mineralogy (SEM-EDS) approach to sandstone reservoir quality and diagenesis
Porosity and permeability define the reservoir quality of a sandstone. Porosity and permeability are controlled by primary sedimentary characteristics and subsequent diagenetic modification.

edxia: Microstructure characterisation from quantified SEM-EDS hypermaps
Abstract The characterisation of cement paste microstructure is an important step towards understanding durability mechanisms in cementitious materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) is a widely used technique to analyse the microstructure at the micron-scale.

Tubular microfossils from ∼2.8 to 2.7Ga-old lacustrine deposits of South Africa: A sign for early origin of eukaryotes? [PDF]
Unequivocal evidence for Archean eukaryotic life has been long sought for and is a matter of lively debate. In the absence of unambiguous fossils this debate has focused on biogeochemical signatures and molecular phylogenies.

Morphological Study of Surface Magnetic Minerals, Case Study of North Banjarmasin Settlement Areas
We have conducted research to identify the morphology of magnetic minerals from the land in the Banjarmasin regional settlement area. We used scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM EDS) on the soil sample to look at ...

Use of SEM and EDS analysis in the investigation of Al-Si-Cu piston alloy cast porosity [PDF]
Porosity formation was detected in the casting thinnest section in the proximity of the as cast surface and near the wall centerline. In order to investigate the cause of the porosity formation light microscopy was used to define as cast structure. After
