PETROG - The Complete Digital Petrography Tool for Optical Polarizing Microscopes

PETROG supports the latest Nikon cameras:

DS-Ri2, DS-Fi3 and DS-10.
PETROG is also compatible with Nikon polarising microscopes

All Data Analysis –

An overview of some of the many analyses and graphical displays provided by PETROG to maximise the value from point-counted compositional and textural data captured using the only available automated Stepping Stage for polarising microscopes.

Estimating Porosity From a Whole Slide Image –

PETROG will capture a mosaic of images covering the whole slide (or polished block) and stitch these together to make a single virtual image, which may then be manipulated, analysed, using sophisticated image analysis, and viewed, using pan and zoom. Unique features of PETROG’s image capabilities include simultaneous view of PPL and XPL images and patented colour space analysis based on Machine Learning.

Petrog is not only a Digital Point Counting System but a Complete Digital Petrography Tool for studies inGeology/Earth Sciences.

It has been designed for Petrographic Textural and Compositional Data Collection and Analysis.

It is used as an attachment ofOptical Polarizing Microscope for the Modal Analysis of petrographic thin sections and ore blocks, adding value to coal, hydrocarbon, igneous, metamorphic and ore data.

Main Features :
  • Fully Motorized High-Precision Stepping Stage
  • Quantitative Textural and Compositional Data Capture
  • Modal analyses of thin sections under a microscope (for quantitative estimation of mineral abundances)
  • Microporosity Calculation for Matrix and Authigenic Minerals
  • XRD Data Comparison
  • Ternary Diagrams
  • Dictionaried Multi-level Relational Compositional Data Entry
  • Editing and Review of Data
  • Relate the image with reports and QC for each analysis point

The basic package includes :
  • PETROG / PetrogLite Software
  • Motorized Stepping Stage, consisting of:
    • Stepper
    • Control Box
    • USB Cable for connection between Control Box and PC
    • AC Power Cord and Adapter (12V DC)
    • Adapters for small slides (5cm × 2.5cm) and retaining screws

In the package of PETROG, a High-resolutionDigital Video Cameraand a suitable C-mount Adapter arealso included. This camera provides superior image quality for petrographic analysis, an adequate resolution to print high-quality pictures for reports and a sufficient speed of response. However, the Camera and C-mount Adapter are notapplicable to the lighter version i.e.PetrogLite.
