Linear method for determining the size distribution function of inclusions

Abstract

Determination of the sizes of inclusions and the function of their size distribution in the mineral volume is an important task for practice. Since in the vast majority of minerals containing inclusions are opaque, it is not possible to experimentally measure the sizes of inclusions. Usually the sizes of inclusions cross-sections are measured on the slip, and by the picture on the slip we have to judge about the true sizes of inclusions in the mineral and about the size distribution of inclusions.
