A modal analysis is the measurement of the modal composition of a rock. In point counting, a thin section is moved under the cross-wires of the microscope in equal steps along a regular grid, and the mineral under the cross-wires is recorded at each point; the proportion of the points that fall on a mineral estimates its proportion in the rock.
