The combination of elemental and crystallographic analysis is frequently required to identify and describe natural and synthetic materials. Physical and Chemical characterization requires a set of analytical spectroscopic and/or imaging techniques to access a thorough knowledge of the sample, to better understand the structural, chemical, and textural factors that control their properties, their behavior, and their reactivity... As an example, a mineral description often requires chemical information (Major, minor, and trace elements), structural information (crystal structure, crystallinity…), and morphological information (crystal shape and size).
