Abstract

Identification of textile fibers could be assessed by making use of light microscopy. In essence, a solution was prepared consisting of Zncl2, (100 g), KI (32 g), distilled water (34 ml), and I, (till saturation). This solution was used as a swelling agent for tactile fibers during microscopic examination. Differences in longitudinal and cross-sectional views have been taken to identify fibers in textiles.
