hardrcover. 1st. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1981. 1st. hardrcover. Solid, square binding. Jacket has two chips along edge and one short 1/2" tear. Book itself is clean and free of any markings other than the previous owner's name inside the front cover. 340 indexed pages. 9.25 X6.25 X 1" 23.5 X 16Cm X 2.5CM This book describes methods for the optical characterization of crystals as well as for supplementing the more conventional methods of determining crystal structure, such as X ray. The spindle stage permits extremely accurate determination of the orientation of crystals under polarized light. The increased precision of spindle-stage techniques allows analyses of the close relationship between the composition of a crystal and its optical properties. This means that experimental errors are less likely to mask the effect on the optical properties caused by the minor compositional variations superimposed on the primary composition of a solid solution series. For amateur mineralogists, the conoscopic and the graphic methods for analyzing extinction data described in the first three chapters are generally sufficient, whereas professional and forensic microscopists who desire greater accuracy may prefer to use the statistical methods and computer programs discussed in the later chapters. No other book deals exclusively and in such detail with the spindle stage. This volume will be welcomed by graduate students and professionals in mineralogy, crystallography, and petrology.
