The JKTech Mineral Liberation Analyser (MLA) was first presented as a new development in the field of SEM based automated mineral measurement tools in 1997 Gu and Napier-Munn, 1997). 

At the time it represented a unique method of combining back scattered electron (BSE) image analysis and X-ray mineral identification to provide automated quantitative mineral liberation characterisation.  

The advanced analysis techniques implemented by the MLA today are presented below, as are the many methods of combining them to provide targeted and optimised, automated mineralogical information.
