• Petrographic Microscope: A Case of Etiological Evolution
  Petrographic microscope has gone a long way to reach its well-acclaimed optical status and instrumentation’ elegance that it rewardingly savors this day. Way before its construction, polarizing microscopy and other related accessories and inventions were the ones who monopolized the world of microscopic breakthroughs in optical information extraction, and more often than not, get the […] read more...


• Mineralogical Tales of Missing Links and Puzzles
  The sciences of mineralogy and petrographic microscopy have had a number of challenges to share and relinquish before they all came into a state of success and operational constancy. When it entered into a transitional phase at an understandably downside route, small blots of difficulties, encountered in microscopically correlating a reflected light from a transparent […] read more...


• The Composite Parts of a Petrographic Microscope
  Comprehensive understanding of a petrographic microscope requires considerable amount of effort on the part of a mineralogists. Considering that such particular type of ocular instrument is generally regarded to be a complex one, a thorough investigation of its advancement and progress necessitates a fundamental understanding of the microscope’s composite parts and their corresponding functions, aside […] read more...


• Stage Centering: A Case of Trial and Error in Petrologic Evolution
  Evolution in the field of microscopy has indeed brought to life many inventions and innovations that cater to a completely new world of demanding market and research needs. Among the many recipients and objects of such advancement, industrial science with all its tools, methods and equipment, always seem to have its hands full with the […] read more...


• Maneuver Do’s and Don’ts for Petrographic Microscopy
  Petrographic microscopy requires a whole lot of intent looks, cautious stares, and yes, even more intent looks, and thus led to physical strains to the observer’s eye. Considering that even the topmost magnification feat could not be considered good enough to enlarge specks of minerals and crystals less than 0.010 millimeters in diameter, microscopists cannot […] read more...
