Sách Transmitted Light Microscopy of Rock-Forming Minerals An Introduction to Optical Mineralogy (sách keo gáy, bìa mềm)
Thể loại:Earth Sciences - Geology

This book presents a guide of optical
mineralogy for beginners and microscopists who need to brush up their
knowledge. It allows the fast identification of common rock-forming
minerals in a thin section using a polarized light microscope and
transmitted plane and cross polarized light. The book summarizes
essential principles of optical mineralogy in numerous schemes. It
explains, with the aid of more than 1000 microscopic images, how to
determine the diagnostic optical characteristics of a mineral in a thin
section. Seventy-two mineral plates of sixty-five common rock-forming
minerals comprising typical microscopic images in plane and cross
polarized light illustrate the most important optical and
crystallographic parameters and their diagnostic characteristics and
typical appearance in various geological settings. The original approach
of the book is to facilitate mineral identification by mineral plates
organized according to color in transmitted plane polarized light and,
in each color category, according to decreasing maximum birefringence in
cross polarized light. In addition, two chapters are devoted to the
classification of magmatic and metamorphic rocks and their common
mineral parageneses and textures.
The book reflects the
author’s experience of teaching optical mineralogy in the most efficient
way possible to generations of students at the Universities of
Heidelberg (Germany), Basel (Switzerland), and Geneva (Switzerland).
