The use of screened fractions at the simplest level is done to provide cleaner data by helping to reduce touching particles and the bias that can be introduced through stereological effects. There are well documented reasons based on the mathematics of converting 2d section images into 3d particles (stereology), which show that if we want to generate a meaningful grain size distribution it should be required that screened fractions are analysed. Stereological corrections work well because they calculate 3d parameters based on a statistically random distribution of particle orientations.

For those of us using Process Mineralogy on a regular basis, the introduction of more accessible systems, such as the QEMSCAN EXpress, opens a new door to generate meaningful mineralogical information at site, reducing turn-around times and allowing metallurgists to use mineralogy more as a predictive tool and less as a reactive post-mortem of what went wrong
