Abstract

The technique of replica casting of ceramic materials and the various methods of mounting and examination are described. Co-ordination of optical properties of the peels and X-ray analysis is considered. The uses of peels in showing orientation of clays settled under gravitation and also effects of plastic deformation are discussed.
