Optically Uniaxial Crystals explores the optical science behind crystalline materials with this engaging historical article on crystallography.
Authored by P. Groth and reissued in an affordable modern edition, it explains the optical properties of uniaxial crystals, crystals that have a single optic axis and exhibit distinctive light-splitting behavior known as birefringence, using original texts and explanations that remain relevant to today's readers.
Ideal for gemologists, students of mineral science, collectors and anyone intrigued by how light interacts with crystal structures, this article offers fundamental insight into uniaxial crystal optics and places the material in its historical scientific context.
