Studio multi-metodologico sui granati birifrangenti negli scisti blu della Corsica Alpina

In this work several birefringent garnets were analyzed in order to determine whether there was a relevant connection between the origin of the optical anisotropy, the chemical composition and/or the crystallographic orientation of the birefringent domains of the single crystals. For this reason, methodological techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction were used.
