We've released #XMapTools 4.3, which includes several improvements for reducing LA-ICPMS data. See what is new at xmaptools.ch/release-4-3/ and follow @XMapTools – at Berne, Switzerland

This week we had the XMapTools course at the University of Brasília! It was a great time and I'm always happy to discuss petrology using @XMapTools and I'm already looking forward to the next one at @ufmg in 2024 🤍 – at Brasília, Brazil
New videos now available to show you how to work with #XMapTools and EPMA data. Have a look at xmaptools.ch/videos/ and follow us on YouTube youtube.com/@xmaptools

I have published the first tutorial for XMapTools 4.1 on the resources website resources.xmaptools.ch/tutor… It will guide you through the classification, standardization and visualisation of EPMA data using maps from Duesterhoeft & Lanari (2021), JMG 38, 527-55 @XMapTools #tutorial

Playing in @XMapTools with a favourite sample on #ThinSectionThursday. Looking at the quant EDS data, importing into XMT and then calculating mineral formula. Last map is the plag An component, with alternate comps & zoning when included in garnet!🤩 #geology #rocks #ZeissNatRes

XMapTools 4.1 is available! xmaptools.ch/release-4-1/
This is true, but the scale bar is no longer expressed in pixels in XMapTools 4. We haven’t implemented the old export function because it is not compatible with the new engine that generates images (single- or multi-maps). Do not hesitate to report issues to @PierreLanari
XMapTools 4 beta 2 is available for download! This version includes new functionalities and several improvements to stability and compatibility. xmaptools.ch/release-4-beta2… Download: xmaptools.ch or github.com/xmaptools/XMapToo…

These X-ray maps show an interesting feature: symplectites around garnet, formed of plagioclase (XAn = 99) and white mica. Have you ever seen such a mineral assemblage for symplectites? The maps were obtained with EPMA and explored with @XMapTools.

Garnets also show compositional zoning, like this one right here of a nice spiral-like garnet from a metapelite.

You know, I've been meaning to play around with XMapTools for a while now, and this was the perfect excuse to start. I'm inclined to agree that the subtle Ca zonation near the edges is much more visible! The bright inclusions sort of vanish, but they aren't the point.
This is a stunning image @thegeojesse. Mapping over large areas is a must for such samples 😉

The XMapTools’ team wishes you a prosperous New Year. We can’t wait to tell you more about what is coming in 2021. Spoiler alert, it will be new and big! Stay tuned, further announcements will be made here... #XMapTools
