Scanning Electron Microscope Exercise

In the accompanying PDF file there are images of four samples showing the thin section view and the SEM view followed by a series of EDX spectra of individual spots that were analyzed. For each of the four sample views, make a short description of each large view (both thin section and SEM) naming the features that you can see. Then interpret the EDX spectra identifying the mineral(s) indicated by each spectrum.
