海洋底质调查中对底质碎屑矿物的鉴定,包括对各种矿物成分作定量鉴定,传统的方法是在显微镜下采用条带法或视域法进行分类,计算颗粒百分数。这种方法准确性较差,特别是对非熟练人员尤其困难。有人采用化学法或x-射线法来进行分析,然而采用这些方法在准确性或制备样品方面亦会遇到一定的困难。1953年Hunt J.M.和 The identification of sedimentary detrital minerals in marine sediment surveys, including the quantitative identification of various mineral constituents, is traditionally performed using the strip or field method under a microscope for classification and calculation of the percentage of particulates. This method is less accurate, especially for unskilled persons. Some people use chemical or x-ray methods for analysis, however, these methods may encounter some difficulties in terms of accuracy or sample preparation. 1953 Hunt J.M. and
