A sample substance is placed on a metal strip with a temperature gradient, a melting-point apparatus known as a Kofler bench, thereby revealing its thermal behavior at the temperature at that point when studied with a suitable polarized-light microscope. ]]></termNote><termCreatedDate>2026-03-30 20:25:26</termCreatedDate><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31317249</termId><termName>HSM</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>UF</relationType><termId>31317250</termId><termName>hot stage microscopy</termName><termType>ND</termType></relation><relation><relationType>BT</relationType><termId>31304399</termId><termName>microscopy</termName><termType>PT</termType></relation></term>  </Zthes>
