Geochemistry Help

Overview

With the IGI software it is always possible to have access to Geochemistry help. Geochemistry help is provided in a special window that can always be viewed, even inside modal (locked) dialogues. We recommend starting the Geochemistry help at the start of the application and leaving this open at all times.
