Virtual Microscope - Ore Minerals for Android

The Virtual Microscope - Ore Minerals is a professional and interactive virtual petrographic microscope which allows geologists to examine and explore minerals and their microscopic features.

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.

Made by a Geologist for Geologists.

HIGHLIGHTS:

11 most common ore minerals in thin-section which cover native elements, sulfides and sulfosalts class (+gangue minerals) (gold, pyrite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, tetrahedrite-tennantite, bournonite-seligmannite, hessite, quartz and rhodochrosite);

19 high-quality thin-sections related to ore deposits;

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: ~150 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.
