2.3.7. Morphology Recipe

In the Morphology recipe the grain size, grain shape and other physical parameters of the sample that are analysed can be selected. The software o ffers following possibilities: area, length, breadth, elongation, roughness, Feret maximum, minimum, and mean length, Feret maximum, minimum, and mean angle, porosity, and grey value (Figure S5). These grain morphology parameters are provided as output data for every individual analysed grain and can therefore be correlated to grain mineralogy or chemistry. Morphological analyses are performed on the BSE (or other input) image of the sample, not on the map produced during the analysis.

The morphological parameters can be classified such that grains full-filling certain size or shape parameters are registered separately. The grains fulfilling these parameters can be filtered out after the analysis.
