Transmitted Light Microscopy of Rock-Forming Minerals by Susanne Theodora Schmidt
The original approach of the book is to facilitate mineral identification by mineral plates organized according to color in transmitted plane polarized light and, in each color category, according to decreasing maximum birefringence in cross polarized light.“This manual is intended to novice to experienced users of the optical microscopeTo the former it provides the physical foundation of the optical properties … . To the latter it offers a well-designed refreshment course. For both types of users it is a concise yet complete reference to navigate the colored interactions between light and minerals.” (Georges Beaudoin, Mineralium Deposita, Vol. 59 (5), 2024)
Susanne Theodora Schmidt was educated at the University of Heidelberg (Germany) and the University of Minnesota, Duluth (USA). With her students and collaborators, she has conducted research projects on metamorphic petrology in low-grade and high-grade metamorphic terranes in North and South America and Europe. She also applied her mineralogical insight to a variety of other topics including gemology and health- and environmental-related issues. She has taught metamorphic petrology, mineralogy, and optical mineralogy at the Universities of Heidelberg (Germany), Basel (Switzerland), and Geneva (Switzerland). The present book reflects her experience of teaching optical mineralogy to many generations of students in Earth Sciences in the most efficient way possible.
