SHINE Soil Edition
A portable XRD system developed for field identification and quantification of clay minerals.
It rapidly identifies clay minerals such as chlorite, kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite in soil samples, supporting agricultural and environmental studies.
Developed by LANScientific, this system is supplied with DeneyLab sales and technical support.
