Metal and Mineral Microinclusions in Rocks: Research Finding Interpretation and Application to the Study of Magmatic Systems of Kamchatka and Stanovoi Fold Belt

This paper discusses the problems of interpreting the study results obtained for metal and mineral microinclusions by the scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray microanalysis, which are related to the matrix material effect. The method was shown to work well when studying “relatively large” (5–10 μm) microinclusions for the purpose of phase identification and semi-quantitative determination of their composition normalized to 100
