  4. Dispersion staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_staining

    These differences become manifest as a color when the two dispersion curves intersect for some visible wavelength. This is an optical staining technique and requires no stains or dyes to produce the color. Its primary use today is in the confirmation of the presence of asbestos in construction materials [1] [2] [3] but it has many other ...
