The paper discusses the role of geological and biological archives showing an annually laminated internal structure in palaeoclimate research, which are recognised as very high-resolution archives of environmental change. The annual origin of laminations can be validated by absolute age dating or by using instrumental data for the most recent period. It is pointed out that microscopic laminae may span several hundreds to thousands of years and frequently reveal a high degree of internal growth variability, and that quantitative examination of laminations using transmitted-light or epifluorescence microscopy is thus a tedious task and may be partly automated. The authors describe a software (WinGeol Lamination Tool) developed by them, using C + +, capable of semi-automatically detecting and measuring individual lamina thicknesses in geological and biological archives showing large internal growth variability. The Lamination Tool enables the operator to efficiently and quantitatively examine laminae down to the micron scale and it was successfully tested on a variety of annually banded samples.
