Microthermometry Techniques

Microthermometry techniques are scientific methods used to study small-scale temperature variations, particularly in geological and mineralogical samples. By examining tiny inclusions—like trapped fluids or gases within minerals—scientists can determine the temperatures at which these inclusions formed. This reveals important information about the conditions of the Earth's crust, the history of mineral formation, and even the geological processes over time. The findings help in understanding natural resources, environmental changes, and the behavior of materials under different temperatures and pressures.
