Technique for studying structure of sea ice
A microtoming and replicating technique has been developed for examining the microstructure of sea ice optically and by scanning electron microscope. This dual observation method is useful for studying the grain and sub-grain structure of sea ice, the nature of the brine pockets, and the precipitati...

| Summary: | A microtoming and replicating technique has been developed for examining the microstructure of sea ice optically and by scanning electron microscope. This dual observation method is useful for studying the grain and sub-grain structure of sea ice, the nature of the brine pockets, and the precipitation pattern of the salt crystals at low temperatures. Une technique de microtomie et de réplique a été développée afin d'examiner la microstructure de la glace d'eau de mer optiquement et avec un microscope à balayage électronique. Cette double méthode d'observation est utile pour étudier la structure granulaire et subgranulaire de la glace d'eau de mer, la nature des inclusions de saumure et le mode de précipitation des cristaux de sel à basses températures.
