The corelab in Mondsee, in a building usually used for fish research by the Austrian Institute for Fishery in Scharfling (many thanks again, Ali!). The lake is just in three minutes walking distance. In the center a 6 m long table for cutting, description, preparation, and subsampling of the cores. The photo-lab is at the left hand, behind the black plastic sacs, used to reduce parasite light for better spectroscopy.
5mm-halfcore-slices for the ostracodologists being cut and stored in Petri-dishes (... no, the samples, not the o..ogists)
