Microscopic techniques used to assess reservoir quality include [[thin section analysis]], petrographic image analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction (see [[SEM, XRD, CL, and XF methods]]). Through thin section analysis, the pore types and distribution, the extent of reservoir enhancement or degradation by diagenesis, and the influence of depositional textures on reservoir quality can be determined (see [[Thin section analysis]]).
