>> On my gravel samples the surface has a texture easily seen at even 20x. The surface is one that has cooled and slightly shrunk. << The problem is that fine scratches don't appear even to be on the surface. They are deflected by non-polarized light to appear to be off the surface, and in fact, out of focus. So you can never see the fine scrateches at that magnification in non-polarized light, and probalby not at that magnification at all . The scrateches appear to be a gloss or shinyness at that level – Greg Laden, Written 09-Sep-1994 @ 10:43:17 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.25
