Scanning electron microscopy cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) of quartz has been a
prevalent research technique in porphyry and epithermal systems for the past two decades …

Microfractures are small, high-aspect-ratio cracks in rock that result from application of
differential stresses. Although the term has been used to refer to larger features in the …

The French Massif Central constitutes an exceptional study area due to the diversity of its
metallic deposits, its internal position in the Variscan belt, and the abundance of available …

The principal aim of this paper is to consider some of the special problems involved in the
study of fluid inclusions in ore deposits and review the methodologies and tools developed …

A procedure of fluid inclusion studies is proposed with emphasis on the criteria of selecting
fluid inclusions for detailed (microthermometry and spectroscopic) analysis. An overview of …

Chapter 1 of this volume (Bodnar 2003a) introduced the subject of fluid inclusion research
and dealt with the various processes that lead to the entrapment of fluid inclusions. This …

Scanning electron microscope cathodoluminescence imaging is used to map successive
generations of fluid inclusions in texturally complex quartz veinlets representing the main …

Scanning electron microscope–cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) analysis of quartz reveals
textures that cannot be observed using optical microscopy or backscattered electrons. These …

Basic principles for the study of fluid inclusions in metamorphic rocks are reviewed and
illustrated. A major problem relates to the number of inclusions, possibly formed on a wide …

The contributions of this book arose from a conference on ''Mineralogy and analytics of
highpurity SiO2 raw materials''held in June 2011 in Freiberg, Germany. The 15 chapters are …
