Bronze Wear, Primer Paint, and Paper Fiber
These particles are from a transformer oil sample. The red
particle is a fragment of red primer paint. The
two "gold" colored particles are bronze (CuZnPb). There is a small copper particle
to their right. The paper fiber is significantly
degraded as indicated by its low birefringence and its terminations.
