Synopsis
Excerpt from Elements of Optical Mineralogy: An Introduction to Microscopic Petrography; With Description of All Minerals Whose Optical Elements Are Known and Tables Arranged for Their Determination Microscopically
Probably no words are needed to justify the exclusive use of the Miller symbols in referring to crystal faces and forms.
Special thanks are due to Professor U. S. Grant, of North western University, for critical suggestions. And for the labora tory illustrations of Part I, which in the main are adopted from his manuscript notes.
Professor C. E. Mendenhall, of the University of Wisconsin, kindly revised the chapter devoted to the phenomena of light. And to him the authors are indebted for some exact definitions of the movements of light.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. 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. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332862108_0
