Observation of Gypsum Fibrosum from Different Habitats by Scanning Electron Microscopy / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate gypsum fibrosum from different habitats by scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) . Methods:Gypsum fibrosum samples from different habitats were scanned by an electronic microscope. Results: The results of SEM showed that gypsum fibrosum (CaSO4·2H2O) from different habitats was with the crystal structure of fibrous,tabular or flaky aggregation. The sur-face amplification of gypsum fibrosum from Hubei showed obvious black spots,while that from the other habitats was without the feature. Conclusion:The method is simple and accurate, which can be used to investigate gypsum fibrosum from different habitats.
