The Virtual Microscope - Ore Minerals is a professional and interactive virtual petrographic microscope that allows geologists to examine and explore ore minerals and their microscopic features (βthis app contains only minerals in polished sections using reflected light - opaque minerals).
The Virtual Microscope - Ore Minerals makes Optical Mineralogy easier to examine a polished 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.
The app is Made by a Geologist for Geologists.
