The Virtual Microscope - Minerals is a professional and interactive virtual petrographic microscope which allows geologists to examine and explore minerals and their microscopic features. 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. Made by a Geologist for Geologists. HIGHLIGHTS: 🌟 55 most common minerals in thin-section which cover all silicate and non-silicate classes; 🌟 95 high-quality thin-sections related to Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks; 🌟 360 degrees interactive movement of the plates; 🌟 properties of each mineral; 🌟 user-friendly interface, ad-free and very intuitive; 🌟 made by a Geologist for Geologists. Read before installation!Space requirements: ~850 MB! Trust me, it will be worth it!Important: In some devices, the app does not work properly. In order to make it working (to see the mineral(s) when you rotate the plate) please do the following things:i) move the app to internal memory (or to SD card) - try now;ii) restart your app - try now;iii) restart your phone (or uninstall-reinstall app) - try now. _______________________________ This app can be used as a virtual manual in disciplines like Optical Mineralogy, Mineralogy, Petrology and cannot replace the University classes or 'dedicated' books.
