Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter sparked concern from fans over how thin he looked in a selfie he posted Wednesday.

Thin Section Results: Reconnaissance petrographic work on samples from the Radio Tower and Smart Creek porphyry targets has yielded significant new information.

Ever wonder how Earth scientists examine rocks? We cut them up and throw them under a microscope ... and then everything seems different.

In the world of geological and mineral analysis, preparing thin sections is critical for examining the internal structure and composition of rock samples. Using QATM equipment, we can ensure precision ...

A coalition of environmental nonprofits sued the federal government in an attempt to halt the project before work begins.

The chunk above with the clippers on it and the chunk beneath the bricks are biotite-rich gneiss. The washout also revealed numerous pieces of garnet mica schist from an out-of-county source location.

The layer structure of the mica is also the reason for its characteristic sheen - you can often see a spectrum of colors, similar to a thin layer of oil on a puddle of water.

The geology is very similar to Kreuzeck East and Goldeck-Siflitz, with mica schist of pelitic-psammitic origin, and phyllitic and quartzitic mica schists with intercalated graphitic schists.

The cast thin section experiments were done with polarized light microscopes, and they were then used to observe the mineral composition, contact relationship, and pore structures within the rock ...
