High pressure - High temperature equipment at WWU:
Our high pressure laboratory at WWU is equipped with a non-end loaded piston cylinder (Quick Press) from Depths of the Earth. It is capable of generating pressures up to 2.5 GPa (25,000 times the atmospheric pressure) and temperatures up to 1800 degrees C. The laboratory is also equipped with muffle furnaces, heating up to 1100 degrees C, optical microscopes and desiccators.

SEM:
SEM:
WWU has two Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM): a JEOL JSM-7200F FIELD EMISSION SEM and a TESCAN VEGA 3 THERMIONIC SEM. These two SEMs are mostly used to obtain high-resolution images and qualitative chemical analysis of major elements (through Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) in samples synthesized at high-pressure and temperature.
ICMPS:
ICMPS:
WWU has a AGILENT 7900 Laser-Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS). This instrument is used to measure concentrations of trace elements (concentrations down to parts per million) in liquid (without the laser) or solid samples.
