Discription
In mineralogy, the heavy liquid diiodomethane (CH2I2) is used to determine the refractive index of minerals and to separate and determine the density of unknown heavy minerals using the immersion method.
How to use diiodomethane and practical examples can be found in the articles: Measuring the refractive index with a refractometer or using stereo microscopes to examine inclusions (bright-field microscopy).
Background information on investigations using stereo microscopes or immersion liquid can be found in the methods article Microscopy. You can find out more about measuring with refractometers under Refractometry .
