Abstract
Our work has been aimed at the exploratory observation and study on the intracrystalline submicron deformation structures of quartz in a series of deformed rocks occurred along the Fuyun fault zone in Xinjian, West China, which is a typical seismic one with strong activities since Cenozoic period, in connection with the corresponding works on seismology and structural petrology, using the ultra high voltage electron microscope (HVEM).With the successful method of sample preparation by select area stripping from a petrographic microscopy section and ion thinning, and with the advantages of stronger penetration power and lower radiation damage of HVEM, our observation on the intracrystalline deformation microstructure has been made more reliable and productive.In the light of dislocation theory and the experimental results of quartz deformation, up to hundred of HVEM micrographs have been analysed and summarized with reference to the current conceptual model of fault.
