T 5530 A B S T R A C T AUTOMATED MINERAL IDENTIFICATION AND ROCK CHARACTERIZATION PROCESS A computer controlled process for analyzing and characterizing polished mineral samples by using back-scattered electron (BSE) imaging of at least one field of view of a sample through which BSE information data are obtained and by using inelastic electron scattering X-ray sampling of said field of view Said BSE information data are digitized and are directly converted into grey level information data in order to obtain rock matrix and pore network information data. In a mineral identification procedure relative to said field individual objects are defined in an automatic object defining step from said BSE information data and such defined objects are investigated by exposing the said objects each as a whole to high resolution inelastic electron scattering X-ray object scanning, yielding X-ray spectrum data of atomic elements in said objects by means of which ratio classification data are derived for determining mineral abundancies in said sample.
