Good day whomever this reaches.

I am currently a Masters student continuing research in the field of Fluid Inclusion Analysis. In my current research I have reached a hindrance where the fluid inclusions, (two phase, aqueous, non-daughter crystal bearing), have the tendency to decrepitate before they homogenize. This has not occurred in my previous experiments however, only having a year’s worth of experience, I am still somewhat "new" to the field, so any assistance would be appreciated. I was wondering if anyone might have answers to why this is occurring and if there is anything I could do to prevent the inclusions from decrepitating before homogenizing. The inclusions are in interstitial quartz - carbonate crystals within a massive a sulphide vein. My heating rates have been gradual, (5°/min) so that surely couldn't be the reason. I am also aware of the effect carbonate cleavage planes have on the inclusions, allowing a passage for fluid flow but any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Enjoy the rest of your day further.
