Abstract
POLLEN analysis is the term applied to the quantitative analysis of material containing pollen, by microscopic recognition of the species and genera of plants from which the pollen came. The pollen membranes have qualities of shape, size, surface, and structure which permit these identifications, and their preservation is often excellent.
