Microtectonics is the study of small-scale deformation structures, often viewed through microscopes in oriented thin sections to reconstruct tectonic and metamorphic history. By analyzing kinematic indicators and mineral recrystallization, this field helps identify deformation conditions and locate resources within shear zones. For a foundational text, see Microtectonics .
