“…Bulk density of a particular petroleum inclusion is a function of the individual densities of the liquids and vapor phases of the mixture (Standing 1952;Starling and Powers 1970;Roedder 1984a, b;Pedersen et al 1984Pedersen et al , 1989Stasiuk and Snowdon 1997;Swarbrick et al 2000). Pironon et al (1998 andAplin et al 1999) reported investigation of physical properties of hydrocarbon components in oil inclusions through volumetric reconstruction of fluorescent fluid inclusions. They used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) method to approximate the magnitude of the vapor volume fraction at room conditions (Osjord et al 1985;Macleaod et al 1994;Bigge et al 1995;Lisk et al 1996;Aplin et al 1999Aplin et al , 2000.…”

“…This high performance is needed in this kind of study to provide details and precision about connectivity, pore distribution and pore shape, critical parameters, to control fluid transfer and hence rock durablity. Several authors Miller, 1990, 1993;Montoto et al, 1995;Pironon et al, 1998;Fredrich, 1999;Petford et al, 1999;Menéndez et al, 1999 and) obtained a very good results in improving the 3D porous network reconstruction leading to better understand mercury porosimetry data, usually misinterpreted due to a lack of the 3D pore network configuration. The technique consists of saturating the pore space of the rock sample with a very low viscosity epoxy (~60 cps) such as Epofix resin from Struers (Zoghlami and Gomez, 2004) doped with a fluorochrome such as araldite AY105 doped with Pylam Blue, with a butanone hardener (Petford et al, 1998).…”

IntroductionStone has been used as a building material for thousands of years. It has long been recognised as a material of great durability and superior artistic quality, the foremost choice for buildings associated with status, power and religion. The pyramids in Giza, Burial Chambers in the UK and The Prehistoric Temples Of Malta were all built from stone over 4000 years ago and are still standing. The use of stone in construction has declined over the last hundred years, but it remains an aristocrat of building materials. Building stone derives from one of three naturally occurring rock types: Igneous rocks: Rrocks are buried deep within the Earth, they melt because of the high pressure and temperature; the molten rock (magma) can then flow upward or even be erupted from a volcano onto the Earth's surface. When magma cools slowly, usually at depths of thousands of feet, crystals grow from the molten liquid, and a coarse-grained rock forms. The best example is Granite. When magma cools rapidly, usually at or near the Earth's surface, the crystals are extremely small, and a fine-grained rock results. The fame example is Basalts. A wide variety of rocks are formed by different cooling rates and different chemical compositions of the original magma. Both varieties correspond to a hard and non-porous rock. Sedimentary rocks: are formed at the surface of the Earth, either in water or on land. They are layered accumulations of sediments-fragments of rocks, minerals, or animal or plant material. Most sedimentary rocks become cemented together by minerals and chemicals or are held together by electrical attraction; some, however, remain loose and unconsolidated. Consolidate Sedimentary rocks are Soft and fairly porous rock widely used as building materials, the best examples are sandstone and limestone. Metamorphic rocks: Hard and non-porous rock formed from pre-existing rock that has been transformed by intense heat or pressure within the Earth's crust. The process of metamorphism does not melt the rocks, but instead transforms them into denser, more compact rocks. New minerals are created either by rearrangement of mineral components or by reactions with fluids that enter the rocks. Some kinds of metamorphic such as gneiss and biotite schist are two strongly banded or foliated. Pressure or temperature can even change www.intechopen.com Laser Scanning, Theory and Applications 328 previously metamorphosed rocks into new types. The most metamorphic rocks used in construction are marble and slate. There are huge variations within each of these rock types, caused by specific mineralogy and geology conditions, and while any stone can be used for building, they each have constraints that make them more or less suitable for different purposes. Granite, sandstone and limestone can all be used for building walls, but slate is only suitable for roofs and floors. Some types of granite can contain mineral salts that cause spalling, where the outer face of stone falls off; slate can contain harmful minerals that break down on ex...

Résumé -Microscopie confocale à balayage laser 3D pour quantifier les angles de contact des mélanges naturels diphasiques eau-huile -La mesure de l'angle de contact est l'un des moyens les plus utilisés pour quantifier la mouillabilité et l'énergie de surface d'un matériau en contact avec un/ou plusieurs liquides. Ce travail présente une méthode basée sur le principe du microscope confocal à balayage laser pour mesurer l'angle de contact d'une goutte déposée sur une surface solide. Plusieurs systèmes solide-fluide1-fluide2 ont été étudiés. La méthode CSLM est basée sur l'acquisition d'une série d'images en 2D et suivant l'axe Z d'une goutte fluorescente. La reconstruction de l'image en 3D d'une goutte est obtenue par la somme des images 2D à différents niveaux Z de la surface solide. Les résultats obtenus sont comparés à ceux obtenus par goniométrie, méthode de mesure conventionnelle de l'angle de contact. Ces deux méthodes sont en accord pour les différents systèmes solide-liquide-air étudiés. La modélisation géométrique en 3D de la goutte, obtenue à partir des images CSLM, permet cependant d'étu-dier la distribution locale des angles de contact en périphérie des gouttes et de mieux détecter l'influence des hétérogénéités locales d'une surface solide sur la valeur finale de l'angle de contact solide-liquide-gaz. Abstract -3D Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy to Quantify Contact Angles in Natural Oil-Water Mixtures -The contact angle of a liquid drop on a solid surface is one of the most simple, useful and sensitive parameters in the hydraulic sciences to quantify and to qualify the wettability and the surface energy of different materials. In this paper, a confocal scanning laser microscope (CSLM) has been used to quantify contact angle and then the wettability. This technique uses a laser scan and allows series of 2-D images of a fluorescent liquid droplet set on various solid surfaces to be recorded. The generation of 3-D images is carried out with the summation of several images acquired with a regular step along the
