X-ray Powder Diffraction machine in laboratory Jakarta

X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD) machine identification shows on monitor in LEMIGAS oil and gas laboratory Jakarta on November 8, 2016. XRD used to identify characterization of crystalline materials and fine-grained minerals (such as clays and mixed layer clays) that are difficult to determine optically. It help for mineralogical assessment of hydrocarbon reservoir. (Photo by Anton Raharjo/NurPhoto)
