Introduction

The 308 Coal™ microscope spectrometer is an advanced Vitrinite Reflectance Measurement System designed for the organic petrographic analysis using Standard Test Methodologies ISO 7404-5 and ASTM D2798.  This sophisticated system also has a very flexible design. The 308 Coal™ was developed anticipating the next generation of test protocols as well as for fluorescence microspectroscopy and micro-imaging.

In its basic configuration, bundled with CRAIC CoalPro™software, the 308 Coal™ vitrinite reflectance measurement system grades vitrinite coals using the ISO 7404 and ASTM D2798 standard test methods. However, the 308 Coal™ can also measure the full reflectance spectrum and the spectral fluorescence of coal, kerogen and petroleum source rock. Additionally, it can capture full color images: all this with the same instrument.

With no moving parts, the 308 Coal™ is durable and user friendly. Designed with reliability and speed in mind, the 308 Coal™ Vitrinite Reflectance Measurement system rapidly measures vitrinite reflectivity and also has the ability to do other types of spectroscopic and petrographic analysis and imaging. With this flexibility of design, it will easily comply with future changes in coal testing methods and your own experiments.

Fluorescence

Cutting edge microfluorometry

The 308 Coal™ is designed to measure the fluorescence spectra of coals, kerogens and petroleum source rock easily and quickly.  With the ability to image and measure the emission spectra from the UV to the NIR, the 308 Coal™ is a powerful tool for spectral analysis of geological samples...even including fluid inclusions.  Powdered coal fluorescence

Imaging & Microscopy

High resolution color digital imaging

The 308 Coal™ features high resolution, color digital imaging with sophisticated software.  It allows you to simultaneously see both the spectrophotometer entrance aperture and the coal sample.  This makes it very easy to align the sample for measurements and to capture full color images under any measurement conditions.  Coal
