Mica Aspect Ratios Measured by Scanning White Light Interference Microscopy
2005
Microscopy and Microanalysis
Platy minerals are utilized for their high aspect ratios (average plate diameter divided by plate thickness) in cosmetic, automotive, electronic, and construction applications. Conventional methods of measuring mineral aspect ratios include shadowing [1] and high tilt observation in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) [2] . For platy particles that are thin enough to be electron transparent, aspect ratio can be measured through automated measurement of particle diameter combined with
