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.
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 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.
