A propos de cet article

Print on Demand. This book is an introductory guide to the principles and methods of optical mineralogy. It introduces two subjects, certain phenomena of light and elements of mineralogy, as they apply to the study of crystalline substances. Written for both students and independent workers in the field, the book covers essential topics such as propagation of light, the index of refraction, and the phenomenon of polarization. It includes clear illustrations of the effects of crystals on light, new drawings, and updated results on the feldspar group. The author also provides new tables for determining minerals microscopically. The book is an up-to-date, practical resource that aids in understanding the optical characteristics of minerals and provides data necessary to identify minerals encountered during the study of ores, veins, or other mineral deposits. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332862108_0
