内容説明

In two volumes, both of which are available for separate purchase, Optical Mineralogy provides the information necessary to identify the common rock-forming minerals in both thin section and grain mounts by means of a petrographic (polarizing) microscope. The book is intended for use as a textbook by undergraduate students in geology and as a reference by mineralogists and geochemists studying crystallography and crystal chemistry. The first of the two volumes describes theory and techniques, emphasizing the use of grain mounts as these facilitate the understanding of optical theory. It is sufficiently detailed to enable students to learn the necessary theory and techniques without constant recourse to their tutors. This is accomplished by a detailed discussion, a minimum of terminology and a large number of explanatory diagrams.

内容説明

The second volume of this two volume work begins with a summary chapter on optical techniques which is intended as a quick reference, and a summary for those who have not purchased the first volume. A short second chapter discusses the use of the various charts, tables, graphs and mineral descriptions contained in the book, and the mineral descriptions given are detailed and up to date, and are intended for use with either grain mounts or thin sections, an innovative feature. Each mineral description is accompanied by a block diagram showing the relationship between optical and crystallographic directions, and almost every mineral is shown in a coloured or black and white photograph, or in some cases, both. The mineral groups are arranged alphabetically with names in upper page corners, and the optical features associated with cleavage surfaces are given for each mineral.

目次
