BCC0001-Plasma induced stellar grains thermally annealed in Fe dust.

Detail of selected grains from thin section, wider field of view special setup by Molecular Expressions to capture grain density-count.Note: With exception to the image at the very bottom of this page the attempt to capture as many grains as possible in the images below resulted in an almost full order off birefringence.
 
 
Note the zone of continuous transitional metal dust (darker band), running from left to right in the two photo micrographs above. This section represents an area originally rich in volatile components resulting in an oxidation reduction zone during coagulation and accretion of the entire stellar grain mass.
 
 
    Note the multiple crystal component grain in the center of the above image. Viewing area horizontally approximately 4mm.
