Asbestos identification by dispersion staining microscopy
Journal Article
·
· Am. Ind. Hyg. Assoc. J.; (United States)
Asbestos can be detected and identified by an optical microscope procedure known as dispersion staining. This procedure can be carried out with most phase contrast equipped microscopes. The primary application is for material samples. Distinction between tremolite and anthophyllite asbestos requires examination between crossed polarizers.
