Thanks to the recognition of Olympus' handheld XRF analyzer and portable XRD diffractometer's performance in the geological industry by experts from multiple geological research institutes and university teachers, Olympus and Yingzhou Technology Company were invited to participate in this Youth Geological Conference. Dane Burkett, an engineer from the Yijingtong Science Division, was invited to give a special report on "Portable XRF and Portable XRD for Mineral Exploration and Mining" at the special venue for modern geological analysis and testing technology and applications. At the same time, Yingzhou Technology Company also showcased Olympus' XRF and XRD instruments at the venue.

　　VANTA handheld XRF analysis instrument features exquisite structural design, powerful analysis and detection functions, easy response to geological surveys, and embedded GPS functionIt can transmit GPS data and sample data to GIS via Wi Fi to draw geological distribution maps. It can also detect the content of rock elements within seconds, not only with fast detection speed, but also to assist detection personnel in making decisions. This product is sturdy and durable, with a body structure design that has passed multiple high standard tests, allowing it to work longer and reduce the cost of ownership for users. And its innovative Axon technology can operate in more diverse and complex environments or working conditions.

NASA pioneers innovation, on-site XRD mineral composition:

The initial research and development purpose of TERRA was to conduct chemical and mineralogical testing for NASA's Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) project. It has now developed into a field geological analysis instrument that utilizes both XRD and XRF technologies, with fast analysis speed, high data quality, and the ability to provide quantitative chemical composition values in real time. It has revolutionized various fields such as geochemical exploration, metallurgy and material analysis, as well as on-site hazardous substance detection, and is sturdy, durable, and portable.

The speeches and instrument displays by Olympus professionals at the National Youth Geological Congress deeply impressed attendees with Olympus' determination as a century old enterprise to focus on product research and development in the industrial field. In the future, Olympus will continue to contribute more cutting-edge technologies and solutions to the development of China's geological industry, and help promote its rapid growth.
