Description
Raman spectra were taken of olivine for analysis of vibrational energy intensity ratios. This allowed for determination of its crystal orientation. Garnet inclusions in peridotite were mapped and Raman spectra were taken for these as well. The inclusions could not identified, and data from the Raman spectra proved inconclusive due to difficulty in removing background signal.
