Fig. 2.

High-resolution (~25 nm per pixel) x-ray absorption image of part of an ultramicrotome slice of a CP IDP, L2011*B6, showing the individual micron- and submicron-size mineral grains (dark gray). An image of the organic matter selected by cluster analysis (red) is superimposed, showing that the ~100 nm thick rims of organic matter form the contact surfaces between the individual mineral grains. (Field of view ~2.5 μm wide.)
