Criterion
1: Favor Simple Patterns
The value 1 favours simple reference patterns. A candidate with only 1 line in the
unknown area, shared, may rank before one with many lines, most shared. Patterns with
only a few lines are often false identifications. To analyse an unknown scan, start with a
value of 2, then use 1. This criterion is not meaningful when searching on a pattern.
2: Neutral
The value 2 is an attempt to be “neutral.” For example: a 50/50 mixture of silicon and
feldspar. This criterion was devised to give balanced chances to both. As a rule, always
start with this criterion set when analysing an unknown scan.

Chemical filter
The periodic table allows you to set up a chemical filter by setting elements to 3 different
states:
Select H (Hydrogen). All elements will be selected and coloured maroon. This means that
all these elements are Definitely Absent (Maroon).

Start with the elements suspected to be present in the major phase in the sample. Select
each element until it is coloured green. For example, choose Ca, C & O. This means that
the search will only include minerals with Ca, C & O [Definitely Present (Green)] and will
exclude all other elements.
