In a polarized light microscope, opaque and indistinguishable ore minerals are identified using a reflection microscope.
Under a standard polarized light microscope, it is difficult to identify ore minerals because they are opaque (or have low transparency and are translucent). In reflected light microscopy, by performing mirror polishing with diamond paste, the reflectance and color tone of opaque ore minerals can be observed, and identification is carried out based on that information. If the sample quantity is sufficient, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) can also be conducted, allowing for a comprehensive assessment.
