cathodoluminescence and electron microprobe microanalysis are powerful tools in petrology and mineralogy. Observation of CL image of dating minerals such as zircons,monazite etc. by EPMA,combining use several compositional analyses an d image analyses techniques of electron microprobe for a integrate study,can re veal the internal texture and microarea composition distribution of zircons and obtain the information about evolution history and its relevant geological back ground of mineralogy and geochemistry of zircons,provide a good foundation for further study using techniques like SHRIMP,which has a higher sensitivity.
