Abstract
THE interpretation of powder photographs, despite recent attempts at systematization1–3, remains still largely an art, and any aids towards simplification are greatly to be welcomed. We have discovered that some help can be given by photographs that are usually classed as ‘poor’, in the sense that the grain size of the specimen is large and the lines are therefore rather ‘spotty’.
