Instruments

Gravity Corer

Supplied Name: Universal corer

Supplied Description:

Instrument Type

Generic Name: Gravity Corer

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/51/

Generic Description:

The gravity corer allows researchers to sample sediment layers at the bottom of lakes or oceans. The coring device is deployed from the ship and gravity carries it to the seafloor. (http://www.whoi.edu/instruments/viewInstrument.do?id=1079).

ITRAX X-ray Fluoresence Core Scanner

Supplied Name: ITRAX XRF

Supplied Description:

Magnetic Susceptibility Data from the Palau sediment core from Ongael Lake was measured at ANSTO with ITRAX instrument on 14 October 2013. See more at: http://www.ansto.gov.au/ResearchHub/IER/Capabilities/Radiochemistry/index.htm

Instrument Type

Generic Name: ITRAX X-ray Fluoresence Core Scanner

Acronym: ITRAX XRF

Community Identifier: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L05/current/LAB31/

Generic Description:

An Itrax X-ray Fluoresence (XRF) core scanner provides high-resolution, non-destructive elemental analysis of sediment cores. They can provide optical and radiographic images as well as XRF spectrometry elemental profiles. Itrax instruments may accommodate a variety of sample types including sediment and rock cores, speleothems, corals and wood.
