商品描述

This book presents a guide of optical mineralogy for beginners and microscopists who need to brush up their knowledge. It allows the fast identification of common rock-forming minerals in a thin section using a polarized light microscope and transmitted plane and cross polarized light. The book summarizes essential principles of optical mineralogy in numerous schemes. It explains, with the aid of more than 1000 microscopic images, how to determine the diagnostic optical characteristics of a mineral in a thin section. Seventy-two mineral plates of sixty-five common rock-forming minerals comprising typical microscopic images in plane and cross polarized light illustrate the most important optical and crystallographic parameters and their diagnostic characteristics and typical appearance in various geological settings. The original approach of the book is to facilitate mineral identification by mineral plates organized according to color in transmitted plane polarized light and, in each color category, according to decreasing maximum birefringence in cross polarized light. In addition, two chapters are devoted to the classification of magmatic and metamorphic rocks and their common mineral parageneses and textures.

The book reflects the author's experience of teaching optical mineralogy in the most efficient way possible to generations of students at the Universities of Heidelberg (Germany), Basel (Switzerland), and Geneva (Switzerland).

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書為初學者和需要複習知識的顯微鏡使用者提供了一本光學礦物學指南。它允許使用偏光顯微鏡快速識別薄片中的常見造岩礦物，並利用透射平面光和交叉偏光。書中總結了光學礦物學的基本原則，並以多種圖示方式呈現。透過超過1000幅顯微圖像，書中解釋了如何在薄片中確定礦物的診斷光學特徵。書中包含72幅礦物圖版，涵蓋65種常見造岩礦物，展示了在平面光和交叉偏光下的典型顯微圖像，並說明了最重要的光學和晶體學參數及其診斷特徵和在各種地質環境中的典型外觀。本書的獨特之處在於通過根據透射平面偏光下的顏色組織的礦物圖版來促進礦物識別，並在每個顏色類別中根據交叉偏光下的最大雙折射率遞減進行分類。此外，書中還有兩章專門討論火成岩和變質岩的分類及其常見礦物共生和結構。

本書反映了作者在海德堡大學（德國）、巴塞爾大學（瑞士）和日內瓦大學（瑞士）教授光學礦物學的經驗，旨在以最有效的方式傳授給一代又一代的學生。

作者簡介

Susanne Theodora Schmidt was educated at the University of Heidelberg (Germany) and the University of Minnesota, Duluth (USA). With her students and collaborators, she has conducted research projects on metamorphic petrology in low-grade and high-grade metamorphic terranes in North and South America and Europe. She also applied her mineralogical insight to a variety of other topics including gemology and health- and environmental-related issues. She has taught metamorphic petrology, mineralogy, and optical mineralogy at the Universities of Heidelberg (Germany), Basel (Switzerland), and Geneva (Switzerland). The present book reflects her experience of teaching optical mineralogy to many generations of students in Earth Sciences in the most efficient way possible.
