Abstract

Microprobe study of the effects of secondary fluorescence from high-titania glass (TiO2 ≈ 16 wt %) on apparent titanium content in Ti-free zircon was conducted. It was demonstrated that small crystals (10 µm) are not suitable for analysis. In boundary parts of large zircon crystals (20–30 µm) the error in Ti estimation may reach 10–23%. However, in central parts of large crystals ( 30 µm) the microprobe analysis gives practically undistorted titanium contents.
