Cathodoluminescence (CL) image analysis of zircon is a key step of mineral micro-area compositional investigation and U-(Th)-Pb dating. We introduce a system consisting of field emission ESEM and high performance cathodoluminescence. This system has obvious advantages in imaging resolution and CL spectrum. We acquired some zircon CL images and spectra to demonstrate the ability of this system. Our results show that this system has a great potential application to characterize and identify the genesis of zircon.
