Description

This full-colour handbook illustrates the appearance of common rock forming minerals as seen in thin section under the polarizing microscope. The book contains over 200 photomicrographs accompanied by short descriptions and summaries of the optical properties of the various minerals. The photographs are taken in either plane-polarized light or under crossed polars, and are carefully chosen to show the features by which the minerals can most easily be recognized. This book is designed to be used as a laboratory manual alonside the standard texts, by all students of earth sciences from sixth form to honours degree level.
