Text and Images from Slide

2.3 How do we know the <br />atomic structure of minerals?

Diagram showing an interpretation of a TEM image. Groups of carbon and oxygen atoms form rows.

The atoms' shadows in TEM imaging are proportional to the mass, and thus size, of the element involved as shown in the TEM of dolomite above.
