Platinum Sponsor: FEI is a leading US-headquartered electron and ion beam microscopy company which specializes in solutions for the natural resources sector. In particular, it develops, manufacturers, markets and sells two automated mineralogy technologies, namely QEMSCAN and MLA, as well as the DualBeam system, Helios NanLab. These solutions provide quantitative mineral and petrographic information on drill cores and cuttings, which in turn is used by oil & gas and mining companies to improve resource recovery and reduce risk in exploration. |
 |
Gold Sponsor: For over 50 years Bruker has distributed a wide range of scientific instrumentation into both the academic and industrial sectors. They are a leading provider in techniques like atomic force microscopy (AFM/SPM), X-ray microanalysis (EDS), Electron BackScatter Diffraction (EBSD), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray flourescence (XRF) for materials research in general and for minerals, mining and geology in particular. |
 |
Silver Sponsor: PANalytical is a leading scientific instrumentation supplier which develops and manufactures X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) equipment for use in research and industry world-wide. The materials characterization equipment is used for scientific research and development, for industrial process control applications and for semiconductor metrology. |
