I have recently performed X-Ray computed tomography on a (single) melt inclusion within an olivine phenocryst from lava from Mount Etna volcano. I wish to prepare a methods/proof of concept paper, in which I will show the resolutions obtainable (specifically in determining the volume of the melt inclusion) using three difference XRT set-ups, and outline the potential applications to chemical volcanology.
I would be grateful if anyone could recommend a publication route, or refer me to any similar studies already available.
Hi, Robin! I hope this artical will be interesting for you:

There are two published works which use trace-element analysis of individual fluid inclusions with synchrotron radiation XRF using Monte Carlo simulations for quantification by Karen Rickers.

Similarly, papers by Cauzid, J (G2R, Nancy, France) may be useful as well. He uses synchrotron X-ray fluorescence (SXRF) on fluid inclusions.
Good and well. Go ahead. Many thanks for your contributions!!!!
