We got our first external contribution to our TACtool software!

TACtool is a desktop GUI tool for planning micro-analysis (e.g. via microprobe or LA-ICP-MS). Users mark the target points, then TACTool produces a CSV of their coordinates to load into the machine.

The merge request adds a user guide to loading the CSV into ESI laser control software.

GitHub - BritishGeologicalSurvey/tactool: TACtool is a desktop GUI tool for targeting and co-ordinating sampling points for microanalysis, using spatially resolved imagery, enabling their import directly into sampling systems such as a laser ablation system. The use of this tool dramatically improves analytical traceability and workflow efficiency in the lab.
