Mounted Prints from Science Photo Library
Polarised LM of grain diorite in thin section
Grain diorite. Polarised light micrograph of a sample of grain diorite in thin section. Diorite is an intrusive igneous rock, found on the margins of granite batholiths. It contains plagioclase anorthite (less than 50%, by definition) and hornblende, often with accessory inclusions of magnetite, ilmenite or quartz. The colour is an overall dark grey, with a medium to coarse grain. Its main use is as a building stone. Magnification x6 at 6x7cm size. Magnification: x11 at 5x4 inch size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a polarised light micrograph of grain diorite in thin section. Diorite, an intrusive igneous rock commonly found on the periphery of granite batholiths, is the star of this image. Composed primarily of plagioclase anorthite (less than 50% by definition) and hornblende, with occasional inclusions of magnetite, ilmenite or quartz, it exhibits an overall dark grey coloration and possesses a medium to coarse grain texture. With a magnification factor of x6 at 6x7cm size or x11 at 5x4 inch size, this photograph allows us to delve into the intricate details and unique characteristics that make diorite such a fascinating geological specimen. Its main application lies in construction as a building stone due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. Presented by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional collection of scientific imagery spanning various disciplines including geology and earth science, this print offers both educational value and visual allure. Whether you are an avid geology enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty hidden within Earth's rocks and minerals, this print serves as a testament to the wonders waiting to be discovered beneath our feet.
