Description

Blue dye, mixed with epoxy resin and used to impregnate rock thin-sections to reveal porosity, is replaced by a fluorescent dye, rhodamine B. Incident-light illumination is provided by a special attachment available for polarizing microscopes. The intense autofluorescent-light response makes even the smallest micropores and microfactures visible in sharp detail
