Images of the (001) planes of muscovite were observed by electron microscopy after embedment of clay-size flakes in epoxy resin and sectioning by ultramicrotome. Dislocation or growth planes were indicated. Incomplete exchange of potassium for barium produced zones with 20-angstrom periodicity, suggesting regular interstratification.
