Book Synopsis A Practical Introduction to Optical Mineralogy by : Colin Gribble
Download or read book A Practical Introduction to Optical Mineralogy written by Colin Gribble and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microscopy is a servant of all the sciences, and the microscopic examina tion of minerals is an important technique which should be mastered by all students of geology early in their careers. Advanced modern text books on both optics and mineralogy are available, and our intention is not that this new textbook should replace these but that it should serve as an introductory text or a first stepping-stone to the study of optical mineralogy. The present text has been written with full awareness that it will probably be used as a laboratory handbook, serving as a quick reference to the properties of minerals, but nevertheless care has been taken to present a systematic explanation of the use of the microscope as well as theoretical aspects of optical mineralogy. The book is therefore suitable for the novice either studying as an individual or participating in classwork. Both transmitted-light microscopy and reflected-light microscopy are dealt with, the former involving examination of transparent minerals in thin section and the latter involving examination of opaque minerals in polished section. Reflected-light microscopy is increasing in importance in undergraduate courses on ore mineralisation, but the main reason for combining the two aspects of microscopy is that it is no longer acceptable to neglect opaque minerals in the systematic petrographic study of rocks. Dual purpose microscopes incorporating transmitted- and reflected-light modes are readily available, and these are ideal for the study of polished thin sections.

Download or read book Optical Mineralogy written by C.D. Gribble and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the successor to A practical introduction to optical mineralogy, which was written in the early 1980s, and published by George Allen & Unwin in 1985. Our intention, once again, is to introduce the student of geology to the microscopic examination of minerals, by both transmitted and reflected light. These techniques should be mastered by students early in their careers, and this text has been proposed in the full awareness that it will be used as a laboratory handbook, serving as a quick reference to the properties of minerals. However, care has been taken to present a systematic explanation of the use of the microscope, as well as to include an extended explanation of the theoretical aspects of optical crystallography in transmitted light. The book is therefore intended as a serious text that introduces the study of minerals under the microscope to the intending honours student of geology, as well as providing information for the novice or interested layman.

Book Synopsis Optical mineralogy: principles and practice by : C. Gribble
Download or read book Optical mineralogy: principles and practice written by C. Gribble and published by . This book was released on 1992-11-26 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introductory text deals in detail with the main optical properties of rock-forming minerals that can be recognized under the microscope. Written specifically with the needs of the student in mind, it provides a firm foundation upon which to base more advanced studies of mineral associations and paragenesis, their chemistry and other parameters. It encompasses both the silicate and non-silicate minerals, translucent and opaque, thereby making it useful in studies of ore minerals as well as the more common rock-forming varieties.; The treatment systematically discusses what the optical properties are and how the student can recognize them in laboratory studies. The theory of transmitted- and reflected-light optics is dealt with in considerable detail, so that the precise nature of an optical property can be understood. Diagrams of the optically more complex minerals accompany their descriptions, and these serve to simplify the relationship between the optical properties and the crystallography of a particular mineral. Rarer minerals are also included. Each mineral description is accompanied by a brief synopsis of the mineral's occurrence: in which rocks it is found and which other minerals are associated with it.; Diagrams and summary tables of mineral properties are provided in the appendices.; Complete with four pages of full-colour illustrations, this thoroughly revised and extensively rewritten successor to "A Practical Introduction to Optical Mineralogy" has been completely updated and significantly improved, with a greatly increased range of minerals covered, a complete rewriting of the introductory chapter, and an extensive revision and enlargement of the theory chapters.; "Colin Gribble is a Senior Lecturer and Allan Hall a Lecturer in the Department of Geology and Applied Geology at the University of Glasgow.."; This book is intended for undergraduate students taking a course on optical mineralogy in departments of geology or Earth sciences.

Book Synopsis Igneous Rocks and Processes by : Robin Gill
Download or read book Igneous Rocks and Processes written by Robin Gill and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-20 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for geoscience students taking introductory or intermediate-level courses in igneous petrology, to help develop key skills (and confidence) in identifying igneous minerals, interpreting and allocating appropriate names to unknown rocks presented to them. The book thus serves, uniquely, both as a conventional course text and as a practical laboratory manual. Following an introduction reviewing igneous nomenclature, each chapter addresses a specific compositional category of magmatic rocks, covering definition, mineralogy, eruption/ emplacement processes, textures and crystallization processes, geotectonic distribution, geochemistry, and aspects of magma genesis. One chapter is devoted to phase equilibrium experiments and magma evolution; another introduces pyroclastic volcanology. Each chapter concludes with exercises, with the answers being provided at the end of the book. Appendices provide a summary of techniques and optical data for microscope mineral identification, an introduction to petrographic calculations, a glossary of petrological terms, and a list of symbols and units. The book is richly illustrated with line drawings, monochrome pictures and colour plates. Additional resources for this book can be found at: http://www.wiley.com/go/gill/igneous.

The book is divided into three main parts. Part A is a practical guide to the fundamentals of crystal optics, polarization microscopy and the practical use of microscopes. Part B gives a detailed description of the characteristic optical features, special features, and the paragenesis of the most common rock-forming minerals. This well-illustrated part is divided into opaque minerals, isotropic, uniaxial and optical biaxial mineral groups. Part C contains identification tables for the minerals and diagrams showing the international classification of magmatic rocks, as well as a colour plate section showing crystal forms of minerals. The book will provide an invaluable guide to all undergraduate earth scientists, as well as to professional geologists requiring an overview of mineral identification in thin section.
