Figure 1From: Microchemical and structural evidence for space weathering in soils from asteroid ItokawaTEM data and EDS maps of particle RA-QD02-0042-02. HAADF image of one slice of the assemblage. The particle is primarily composed of orthopyroxene (opx) with minor plagioclase (plg), and troilite (tr). The lathic morphology is a result of chattering, a common texture observed in ultramicrotomed samples of small particles. The SAED pattern (inset) was collected from the region outlined by the red circle on the HAADF image and is indexed to orthopyroxene.Back to article page
