Fig. 3. Backscattered electron image of a zoned murataite-5C crystal in a Synroc-type ceramic containing 20 wt% HLW surrogate produced by ICCM at SIA Radon (Sobolev et al. 1997c). Scale ban 5 pm. Numbers mark locations of analyses listed in Table 3. ACT concentrations in the core are approximately 10-20 times higher than at the edge.

Fig. 3. SEM backscattered electron image of alteration in zirconolite from the Afrikanda alkaline complex, Kola Peninsula, Russia. This crystal exhibits complex magmatic zoning, late-stage replacement by an unknown Ba-Zr-Ti-silicate phase, and preferential alteration along cracks and Th-U-rich zones.

Backscattered electron image of a Type CAI in the Allende CV3 chondrite. This object crystallized from a melt and has an outer mantle of melilite (Mel) surrounding an inner zone of pyroxene (Px) and anorthite (An). Tiny grains of spinel (Sp) are abundant in the inner portion of the inclusion. Image courtesy of A. Krot. 

Backscattered electron image of a portion of a fine-grained Type A CAI in the Efremovka CV3 chondrite. This inclusion consists of nodules of spinel (sp) surrounded by anorthite (an) and thin rims of pyroxene (px). This CAI may be an aggregate of condensates. 

The final sintered specimen was mounted and polished in epoxy (ME14730 epoxy resin and epoxy hardener) for electron microprobe analysis (EMPA, JEOL JXA-8600). The backscattered electron image shown in Fig. 2a confirmed a homogeneous single phase of LSFTO. Elemental compositions were determined with the probe placed at several different spots on the sample. The composition ratios were determined from the average data to be La Sr...

Figure 3.13 displays a backscattered electron image of the Ni-Zn transition zone after a 2 h anneal at 400°C. Upon superficial metallographical examination, four intermetallic layers appear to be distinguishable in the microstructure of the Ni-Zn transition zone, giving an impression of the formation of all the compounds possible according to the equilibrium phase diagram by M. Hansen and K. Anderko.142 The same applies to Co-Zn reaction couples (Fig. 3.14a). However, upon more close examination this first impression tumes out to be quite erroneous, with only two of the four intermetallic compounds actually occurring.

Particle analysis is the most informative method to date for the identification of FDR particles. It does, however, suffer from several major disadvantages including high cost of instrumentation and lengthy and tedious procedures requiring specialized staff Since its introduction serious attempts have been made to solve the time problem. These include the use of backscattered electron images, automation of the search procedure, and sample manipulation to pre-concentrate the sample prior to SEM examination.145151...
