Aphanitic igneous rocks have individual mineral crystals that are too small to be seen without magnification. These rocks cool rapidly, resulting in the formation of tiny crystals. Examples include basalt and rhyolite.
Normally the crystals in extrusive igneous rock are small enough as to not be visible without magnification. The exception would be a porphyritic rock that has visible crystals dispersed in a fine-grained matrix. This type of rock represents a partial cooling of magma before expulsion by volcanism.
A cloud is a dense visible mass of suspended water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Rocks with visible crystals are classified as crystalline rocks. These rocks are formed when minerals inside the rock crystallize and grow to a size that they are visible to the naked eye. Examples include granite and basalt.
Yes, gabbro is a coarse-grained igneous rock made up of larger crystals visible to the naked eye. These crystals are usually a combination of minerals such as plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, and sometimes olivine.
It forms very small crystals, not visible without magnification.
The individual grains (crystals) in quickly cooled magma are described as aphanitic--not visible without magnification.
Yes, with a 400X magnification, you should be able to see crystals in fine detail including their structure, shape, and any impurities present. This level of magnification is commonly used in crystallography and mineralogy studies to analyze crystal properties.
Texture: Aphanitic -- small crystals, invisible without magnification Porphyritic -- visible crystals amid a fine-grained groundmass Phaneritic -- large visible crystals Composition: Felsic -- more than 65% silica Intermediate -- between 55-65% silica Mafic -- between 45-55% silica Ultramafic -- less than 45% silica
Look at it under magnification.

At 400X total magnification, we were only able to view one cell at a time, due to the fact that the cells were separated from each other. The organelles that were visible in this type of cell were the nucleus, the cytoplasm and the cell membrane.
Yes, the wavelength of the light limits the maximum magnification of a microscope. Using visible light, the limit is about 1200 to 1500X.
Porphyrite of any composition, granite, gabbro, diorite. Most intrusive igneous rocks have crystals large enough to see with the naked eye. Another term used to define an igneous rock with large crystals is coarse-grained.
A cloud is a dense visible mass of suspended water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere.
Not to the naked eye, but under magnification, certainly.
