Microscopy of Rocks I
Mikroskopie der Gesteine I
Introduction in the use of the polarizing microscope to indentify minerals and to give a rock its proper name. Application of the main optical properties, such as interference colors to estimate birefringence and to interprete conoscopic interference figures of minerals. The common rock-forming minerals and structures in magmatic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are studied. Microscopic evidence
