Abstract
AN important prerequisite for a satisfactory fabric analysis of any complex, multi-component fabric pattern is the requirement that the component individuals can be relatively easily recognized as to their nature and their geometrical relationships towards adjacent individuals. In rocks, for example, the various mineral individuals can, under average conditions, be recognized readily and clearly distinguished from adjacent crystal individuals. As a result, rock fabric analysis can usually be carried out directly on the image provided by the microscope.
