Tasty Bits par JonDM Via Flickr : Must View On Black! This is a thin rock section seen through the 10x objective of a Motic BA300 Polarizing microscope. These were the actual colors and are NOT photoshop generated. If you were using this microscope you would rotate a polarizer and the colors would change. A Geologist (very loose term here) could notate the changes in the colors when turning the polarizer and determine what minerals are in the rock. I on the other hand can only tell you the microscope works as it's supposed to and that these are my favorite colors from the test slide. DSC_7737
