Fig. 8.

Lava particles in April 3, 2011 ash (250–500 μm fraction) which were classified into “fresh lava” because of similar appearance to “fresh lava” particles in February to March vulcanian ash samples (e.g. Figs. 7(a)–(b)). However, “fresh lava” particles in April 3 ash are partly altered (red arrows). The photograph was taken under binocular microscope. For definition of lava particles and its sub-types (“fresh” and “partly-altered”), see Subsection 5.1.1. Color version available online.
