In petrography, a quantitative method of estimating the volume percentages
of the minerals in a rock. Thin sections of a rock are examined with a
microscope fitted with a micrometer that is used to measure the linear
intercepts of each mineral along a particular set of lines. This method is
based on the assumption that the area of a mineral on an exposed surface
is proportional to its volume in the rock mass. AGI
