Abstract
We disclose an apparatus and process for visual observation and measurement of aggregated, granular and floating or suspended particles samples, which are gravitationally separated. The first part of apparatus is the horizontally focused binocular microscope with vertical positioning. The second part of the apparatus is the revolving test tube holder with vertical positioning and rubber ring for soft tube position fixing. The process is consisting in horizontal focusing on the visual sample analyzing it in liquid.
The difference from conventional process of sample analyzing is that in vertical position the gravitationally separated fractions of the sample will be not disturbed during the analysis and study of the sample. This will make possible to study the microgranulometry samples under horizontally focused binocular microscope.
Microgranulometry is disclosed in US Patent application 10/710840 August 05, 2004 by the author. This will make also possible to use different liquids for gravitational separation of particles and granules without contaminating the environments and degrading working conditions.

FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention is related to apparatus and process for visual analyses of gravitationally separated fractions of granular sample in liquid. This apparatus and process are necessary for micro-granulometry analyses that is main part of field and well site analyses of unconsolidated fractions of the formations in sub-strata. Obtaining the quantitative and qualitative degree of fractional separation of particles is beneficial for the physical and petrophysical analyses and formation log interpretation of the formation drilled for Oil and Gas or other targets.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
During drilling of a well the knowledge of micro-granulometrical properties of the unconsolidated formations is one of the primary information in Oil and Gas exploration.
The gravitationally separated fractions are easily disturbed if the vertical position of sample is changed to horizontal. For proper Microgranulometry analysis it is necessary to position the sample in the tube and hold it firmly with capability of vertical movement, in front of the Horizontally Focusable Binocular Microscope. Conventionally some of the cutting analyses are done under the vertically focused binocular microscope with great difficulty and low quality. Especially difficult are to analyze the sands and silts within clay matrices and sandy and silty clays/shales. We disclose the ways to obtain the visual analysis of gravitationally separated fractions continuously in sample of varying granulometrical consistency.
