Store description excerpt
The Virtual Microscope - Minerals is a professional and interactive virtual petrographic microscope that allows geologists to examine and explore minerals and their microscopic features (❗this app contains only minerals in thin sections using transmitted light - non-opaque minerals). The Virtual Microscope - Minerals makes Optical Mineralogy easier to examine a thin section and to understand the characteristic properties of each mineral without a petrographic microscope, which is known to be very expensive. It is mainly addressed to geoscience students/geologists as a guide in individual or supervised laboratory work. The app is Made by a Geologist for Geologists. 🔬 MAIN FEATURES 🔬 🌟 92 most common minerals in thin-section which cover all silicate and non-silicate classes; 🌟 High-quality thin-sections related to Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks; 🌟 360 degrees interactive movement of the plates by dragging in a circular movement; 🌟 Magnification – zooming in and out; 🌟 detailed observations for each mineral under the microscope (both PPL and XPL); 🌟 user-friendly interface, ad-free, and very intuitive; 🌟 Regular updates. ❗❗❗ For minerals in reflected light (opaque minerals), I have developed another app (Virtual Minerals - Ore Minerals).
