“…In addition, quantification of microstructures (Carr and Goddard, 2008;Menzies and Whiteman, 2009;Patel, 2011;van der Meer and Menzies, 2011;Linch and van der Meer, 2013;Neudorf et al, 2013;Lea and Palmer, 2014;Narloch et al, 2015) and new methods in 'microstructural mapping' (Phillips et al, 2011;Gehrmann et al, 2016), are developing with promising results. Finally, in combination with thin sections, 3D microtomography studies of microstructures (Kilfeather and van der Meer, 2008;Tarplee et al, 2011;Bendle et al, 2015;Groves, in prep) and development of the Metripol microscope system to automatically measure and record birefringence (Linch and van der Meer, 2013;Hiemstra and Carr, in prep) should be even more rewarding.…”
