The Mineralogy and Petrology lab (M&P) functions in between the Sample Preparation Laboratory and other microanalytical facilities, and the primary aim of the lab is to facilitate qualitative and quantitative characterization of Earth materials. In this capacity, the lab houses optical microscopes with setups for high-resolution imaging of loose materials and thin sections, computational resources for image processing, and bench space for light processing of samples before or after use of the Sample Preparation Lab. It also functions as a hub for furnaces and other experimental equipment used for preparation of materials and running of high-temperature experiments.
