Fig. 3: BSE and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of the shock melt pocket in basalt clast B1.
From: Complex impact processes on the Moon’s farside recorded by Chang’e-6 low-Ti basalt
a The occurrence of the shock melt pocket; the yellow rectangle shows the location of the FIB section. The BSE and TEM images of the whole FIB section are shown in Supplementary Fig. 4. b The bright-field (BF)-TEM image, high-resolution TEM image, and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) pattern of needle-shaped stishovite crystallites embedded in Fe-Ca-rich glasses within the shock melt pocket. c The margin of the pyroxene grain adjacent to the shock melt pocket shows lattice distortion. d Quartz cluster crystallized along the crack cutting through the shock melt pocket. Yellow dashed lines in b and c represent boundaries of the shock melt pocket. Px pyroxene, Sti stishovite, Qtz quartz.
