This book introduces the use of electron microscopy in mineralogical research, emphasizing microstructure analysis of minerals and rocks. It covers transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and includes emerging applications of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), serving both as an introductory text and a reference for advanced study.
This volume provides detailed descriptions of minerals with emphasis on their optical properties, intended for use in mineralogy and geology studies, especially in petrographic analysis.
A comprehensive academic text on the study of opaque minerals using reflected light microscopy, focusing on identification, textures, and relationships of ore minerals.
