BSE (a) and X-ray intensity maps of Ca K\(\alpha\) (b) of three exemplary melt inclusions. Melt inclusions (i) and (ii) contain no silicate melt droplets (Ls) in the immiscible carbonatite (Lc), neither in BSE images nor in X-ray maps. The melt inclusion (iii) does contain small silicate blebs in the carbonatite. Only melt inclusions without silicate blebs were used for quantitative analyses.
