“Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.”
The geology and mineralogy laboratory is a space dedicated to knowledge and research on the following topics:
- Mineralogy: studies the physical and chemical properties of minerals found in different rocks. It focuses on chemical composition, crystallographic structure and solid state.
- Crystallography: explores the formation and characteristics of crystals.
- Illuminoscience: involves the study of light and its interaction with geological materials.
The laboratory is equipped with a variety of equipment, which includes:
- Digital petrographic microscopes: used to analyze narrow sections of rocks and minerals.
- Rock and mineral cutters: used to prepare samples and for thinning them.
- Digital polarizing optical microscope: enables observation and study of the optical properties of minerals.
- Safety hood: ensures a safe environment for handling substances.
This laboratory plays a key role in supporting the mining, geological and environmental sector.
