Recently, Song Wenlei, associate professor and doctoral candidate of the State Key Laboratory of Continental Dynamics, Department of Geology, Northwestern University, and the Joint Center for Earth and Planetary Sciences, Hong Kong University, Chen Qian, in collaboration with Chen Hongyi, professor of the School of Earth Sciences, Guilin University of Technology, and others, have realized rapid, quantitative and accurate characterization of mineralogical characteristic parameters of nearly 10000 "Chang'e-5" fine lunar soil samples by using the automatic quantitative analysis system of minerals (TIMA), and successfully quantified the fine lunar soil. It provides a new test method for fine mineralogical research and accurate chemical quantification of rare samples returned from the earth in the future. The research results were recently published in the international spectroscopy journal "Atomic Spectroscopy" (Automated Fast and Quantitative Mineralogical Characterization of)
