1. ALUMINA of better quality to be used during polishing.
2. Acetone quality to be maintained.
3. Sample to be properly dried by blower.
4. If there is any doubt sample to be polished again.If inclusion is found in the same place again than inclusion is confirmed.For sulphide inclusion grey colour will be found with blunt end. For silicate colour will be brown.
For oxide black globular type will be found. As per IS SPECIFICATION more than 13 micron dia globular oxide will be treated as DS or globular single type oxide.It has deleterious effect & should be discouraged. To clear any ambiguity take the help of SEM-SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE & EDX - ELECTRON DISPERSIVE xRAY .
