Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The key for identification of rock-forming minerals provides an efficient and systematic approach to identifying minerals in thin-section. It is structured in the form of a dichotomous key, comparable to those widely used in botany and entomology. Whilst some previous mineralogy and petrology texts have produced tabulated summaries of minerals with similar properties, the present key gives a unique solution for each mineral.The key covers more than 150 of the most commonly encountered rock-forming minerals, plus a few rarer but noteworthy minerals, indicative of particular conditions. Illustrated in full colour, with high quality photomicrographs of each mineral, it also provides the most comprehensive atlas of rock-forming minerals currently available. It is primarily aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students of mineralogy and petrology, but should also provide a valuable source of reference for all practising geologists dealing with rock thin-sections and their interpretation.Although including a brief introduction to the properties of minerals in this-section, the key largely assumes that the user has a basic understanding of optical mineralogy and is able to determine basic mineral properties in thin-section using plane-polarised and cross-polarised light. The key has been designed in such a way as to prioritise those properties that are most easily defined, and thus less ambiguous. This aims to minimise the chance of misidentification and enable the less experienced petrologist to use the key with confidence. The key has been carefully designed to enable different cuts of minerals (e.g. end-section and side sections) to be recognised and keyed out.

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Opto-Mechanical Systems Design, Fourth Edition is different in many ways from its three earlier editions: coauthor Daniel Vukobratovich has brought his broad expertise in materials, opto-mechanical design, analysis of optical instruments, large mirrors, and structures to bear throughout the book; Jan Nijenhuis has contributed a comprehensive new chapter on kinematics and applications of flexures; and several other experts in special aspects of opto-mechanics have contributed portions of other chapters. An expanded feature-a total of 110 worked-out design examples-has been added to several chapters to show how the theory, equations, and analytical methods can be applied by the reader. Finally, the extended text, new illustrations, new tables of data, and new references have warranted publication of this work in the form of two separate but closely entwined volumes.This second volume, Design and Analysis of Large Mirrors and Structures, concentrates on the design and mounting of significantly larger optics and their structures, including a new and important topic: detailed consideration of factors affecting large mirror performance. The book details how to design and fabricate very large single-substrate, segmented, and lightweight mirrors; describes mountings for large mirrors with their optical axes in vertical, horizontal, and variable orientations; indicates how metal and composite mirrors differ from ones made of glass; explains key design aspects of optical instrument structural design; and takes a look at an emerging technology-the evolution and applications of silicon and silicon carbide in mirrors and other types of components for optical applications.
