Proof.
The map is an immersion since the map is an immersion (it is a trivial -covering of ).
To see the transversality we recall the definition of the foliation . For each component of the foliation is parallel to a vector normal to a facet of the Newton polyhedron of . Therefore, any hyperplane in the image is transverse to . Furthermore, hyperplanes close to being parallel to are close to the hyperplane in corresponding to this facet and therefore are far from the given component of . Thus the result of smoothing is also transverse to and the angle between them in is separated from 0. ∎
