Laboratories
X-ray µ-CT
...means X-ray microtomography. At the department of Geosciences at the University of Bremen we use a ProCon CT-ALPHA X-ray microtomograph to non-destructively determine the spatial distribution of matter inside a sample.

FESEM & EDX
...stands for field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Our laboratory is equipped with the field emission electron microscope SUPRA 40 from the company Zeiss and a Bruker XFlash 6|30 EDX detector.

Dickson-Type Reactor
...is a reactor designating an experimental arrangement originally described by Dickson et al. (1963), which can be used to simulate various processes occurring in hydrothermal systems under laboratory conditions.

X-Ray transparent flow-through reactor
Flow reactors refer to an experimental setup that can be used to simulate flow-dependent water-rock interactions under laboratory conditions.
