Description Inorganic analysis of geological samples of various origins, compositions and states is the basis for study in the field of geochemistry. The most common is bulk analysis of rocks, minerals or water using a wide range of analytical techniques. Gradually, surface techniques such as backscattered electron imagery (BSE), X-ray micro-analysis or LA-ICP-MS became an integral part of solution bulk analyses. A more detailed method for elemental distribution has become imaging (mapping) of selected areas on the sample, which replaces or complements local spot analysis. Nowadays, the creation of elemental maps of minerals becomes an integral part of the study of their heterogeneity, element mobility, major or trace elemental distribution or dating. Thanks to microscopic scale imaging techniques, it is possible to decipher geological processes and environment evolution of an area represented by analysed samples.
