The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Enhanced precision, accuracy, efficiency, and spatial resolution of U‐Pb ages by laser ablation–multicollector–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (2008, background): “[6] Cathodoluminescence (CL) images are acquired for most samples because they enable placement of laser pits in specific portions of crystals, and because variations in CL texture aid in interpreting the origin (e.g., igneous, metamorphic, or hydrothermal) of the zircons [Hanchar and Miller, 1993; ”
U-Th zonation-dependent alpha-ejection in (U-Th)/He chronometry (2005, background): “While CL maps do not quantitatively image U content, there is an often observed qualitative negative correlation between U content and CL intensity, likely related to CL suppression due to reduced crystallinity in high-U, radiation damaged domains (Nasdala et al., 2003).”
