In situ observation of biotite (001) surface dissolution at pH 1 and 9.5 by advanced optical microscopy

Laser confocal differential interference contrast microscopy (LCM-DIM) allows for the study of the reactivity of surface minerals with slow dissolution rates (e.g., phyllosilicates). With this technique, it is possible to carry out in situ inspection of the reacting surface in a broad range of pH, i...
