McSwiggen
& Associates also develops utility software to
support the electron microprobe community in general
and JEOL users in particular. Listed below are the
software programs presently available.

MigrationCorrection

Number: |
Util003-W

Windows
version

Some elements,
such as Na and K, will migrate away from the heat of the
electron beam during an electron microprobe analysis. As
a result during the time it takes to make an analysis, the
measured counts for these elements will drop. The program
MigrationCorrection allows a user to collect a series of element
measurements and then back-calculates the count rate at time
zero. The user then runs the JEOL Off-Line Correction
program to convert the new calculated count rate to weight
percents.

MonaziteAge
|
|
| Item
Numbers: |
MA002-W |
Windows
version
|
|
| The
MonaziteAge program allows a user determine the age of a
radioactive mineral from its quantitative analysis and
to produce age maps from calibrated Th, U, and Pb
element maps. It can be used on both Th-rich phases,
like monazite, and on more U-rich phases, such as zircon
or xenotime. It allows the user to calculate the age
from a single analytical point or from a set of
analyses. When multiple analyses are used to determine a
single age, the software will correct for non-radiogenic
lead and for any lead leaching that may have taken
place. The program can also be used to create age maps
from a grid of quantitative analysis data. |

JEOLMapExporter
|
|
| Item
Numbers: |
JME01-W
|
Windows
version
|
|
|
On the JEOL JXA-8230 and JXA-8530F electron
microprobes, the map data is stored in a 64-bit binary
format. Most image processing programs are unable to
read this file format. This program allows the user to
convert the raw JEOL binary map files into a format that
can be easily read by other programs, while still
maintaining the original image resolution. The
JEOLMapExporter can convert single maps or large groups
of maps into JPEG, BMP, PNG, EPS or TXT files. The maps
can be converted individually or in a batch process. In
addition, the user can smooth, rotate, change the color
LUT of the maps, and add or remove the scale bar.

MineralMatch

MINERALMATCH
is for any electron microscopist who works with minerals.
Everyone who does, eventually, runs into the problem of mineral
identification. Whether a seasoned mineralogist or a new
student, attempting to put a name to an unknown mineral, knowing
only its composition, can be both complicated and time
consuming. Once the mineral name is known, any Internet search
engine can find almost any desired information about it.
However, with only a mineral’s composition, Internet searches
are mostly useless. MINERALMATCH
solves this problem of mineral
identification.
MINERALMATCH
contains a
massive database with over 8,000 mineral compositions and
nearly 4,800 mineral formulas. These databases cover most of
the mineral species. Regardless of how exotic the mineral is MINERALMATCH
makes it possible to quickly
identify an unknown based simply on its composition.
