Vitrinite reflectance and point counting of coal, coke and petroleum source rock
GeoImage™ revolutionizes vitrinite maceral analysis by using a camera to quickly and accurately measure reflectance. Designed for organic petrographic analysis according to ISO 7404-5 and ASTM D2798 standards, GeoImage™ reads vitrinite reflectance intensity from each pixel of a calibrated camera, enabling the measurement of millions of points simultaneously. This makes vitrinite reflectance testing fast, easy, and precise.
GeoImage™ is versatile, capable of measuring reflectance from coals, kerogens, petroleum source rocks, and various other materials. Its flexible design includes point counting capabilities, automated test procedures, and high-resolution color imaging. With no moving parts, GeoImage™ is both durable and user-friendly. Built for speed and adaptability, the GeoImage™ system is ready to meet future changes in coal testing methods and support your evolving experimental needs.

Vitrinite Reflectance
ISO 7404 and ASTM D2798
| The GeoImage™ is designed to measure the reflectance of vitrinite macerals per ISO 7404 and ASTM D2798 standard methods. Offered both in manual and automated mode, the system produces industry standard reports when used with CRAIC Vitrinite Reflectance Standards. Test reports can also be customized to your particular requirements. |  |
Point Counting
| Point counting is a statistical method wherein the petrographer analyzes a large number of points, typically 100 to 500, and recording the type of rock seen at each point. The entire dataset is then analyzed to give a more detailed description of the rock sample. |
 |
Imaging
High resolution color digital imaging
| The GeoImage™ offers high resolution, color digital imaging with sophisticated software. This makes it very easy to align the sample for measurements and to capture full color images under any measurement conditions. |  |
Fluorescence
Cutting edge microfluorometry
| The GeoImage™ can also image the fluorescence of coals, kerogens and petroleum source rock easily and quickly. With the ability to image, the GeoImage™ is a powerful tool for the analysis of geological samples...including fluid inclusions. |  |
