The Virtual Microscope - Minerals is an expert and interactive digital petrographic microscope that enables geologists to examine and discover minerals and their microscopic options (❗this app contains only minerals in thin sections utilizing transmitted gentle - non-opaque minerals).

The Virtual Microscope - Minerals makes Optical Mineralogy simpler to look at a skinny section and to grasp the characteristic properties of every mineral with no petrographic microscope, which is known to be very expensive. It is mainly addressed to geoscience students/geologists as a information in particular person or supervised laboratory work.

The app is Made by a Geologist for Geologists.

MAIN FEATURES

92 commonest minerals in thin-section which cowl all silicate and non-silicate classes;

High-quality thin-sections associated to Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks;

360 levels interactive motion of the plates by dragging in a round motion;

Magnification – zooming in and out;

detailed observations for every mineral beneath the microscope (both PPL and XPL);

user-friendly interface, ad-free, and really intuitive;

Regular updates.

❗❗❗ For minerals in reflected mild (opaque minerals), I even have developed one other app (Virtual Minerals - Ore Minerals).
