Bright-field transmission electron microscope image of dislocations in an olivine grain in the MIL 99301 chondrite. Red lines (and gb) indicate grain boundaries.  A subgrain boundary can be seen in the upper right (where b = ?).

Back-scattered electron image of fragmented chondrules in the Buzzard Coulee chondrite.  Opaque minerals are white, olivine is light gray, pyroxene is dark gray, and feldspar is very dark gray to black.
