Various colour look-up tables (CLUTs) for the c-axis orientation image

 

 

 

In order to highlight the characteristics of a given microstructure, new CLUTs have to be designed. Here a three examples are shown:

  1. inverted CIP-Spectrum.CLUT: a colour-coding which assigns black (rather than white) to inclinations 0°/180° . Suggestion: Use Photoshop and montages of COIs with the appropriate CLUT or POL representations and manipulate the colour-coding by applying the "Adjust...Hue/Saturation" function.
  2. swatch.CLUT: the message here: one shouldn't leave black lines in the CLUT
  3. sander.CLUT: classification of c-axis orientations into orientation domains that would be preferred for different glide systems in quartz
