Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamentals of petrographic microscope design through the lens of optical theory. Historically, the petrographic microscope has been an indispensable tool for studying the properties of minerals, which are themselves fundamental to the study of geology. The text offers a comprehensive overview of the optical properties of minerals, addressing the qualitative and quantitative elements of these properties and their use in the microscopic examination of minerals. It delves into the methods, both old and new, for characterizing these properties and assessing their accuracy, ultimately demonstrating how optical properties can be used for mineral and geological analysis.
