Description

The Virtual Microscope - Minerals is a professional and interactive virtual petrographic microscope that allows geologists to examine and explore minerals and their microscopic features (โ—this app contains only minerals in thin sections using transmitted light - non-opaque minerals).

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.

The app is Made by a Geologist for Geologists.

๐Ÿ”ฌ MAIN FEATURES ๐Ÿ”ฌ
๐ŸŒŸ 92 most common minerals in thin-section which cover all silicate and non-silicate classes;
๐ŸŒŸ High-quality thin-sections related to Igneous, Metamorphic and Sedimentary rocks;
๐ŸŒŸ 360 degrees interactive movement of the plates by dragging in a circular movement;
๐ŸŒŸ Magnification โ€“ zooming in and out;
๐ŸŒŸ detailed observations for each mineral under the microscope (both PPL and XPL);
๐ŸŒŸ user-friendly interface, ad-free, and very intuitive;
๐ŸŒŸ Regular updates.

โ—โ—โ— For minerals in reflected light (opaque minerals), I have developed another app (Virtual Minerals - Ore Minerals).

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 โ˜…Great app to accompany an optical mineralogy or petrology course. I have suggested it to other geologists and students. I like the rotate and PPL/XPL features. I appreciate all of the geology related apps you have produced. It would be helpful if the subject mineral was highlighted or labeled in each thin section, since most if not all of the photographed thin sections included with the app contain multiple minerals.
4 โ˜…It is a cool unique app that is good for anisotropic minerals, but for the price there isn't a large mineral selection.
5 โ˜…Excellent app. Simple, yet powerful. My students love it.
1 โ˜…App did not describe itself accurately, immediate refund, just as I did with the geology toolkit offered here. I need a real microscope, and apps that work.
5 โ˜…This is a fantasic way to learn what minerals look like in thin section.
3 โ˜…Theirs really not a whole lot to it the price is a little steep
5 โ˜…Would have been helpful back in college days.
5 โ˜…Nice to have an app with thin sections
2 โ˜…I unfortunatley cannot use this app, kindly send me a refund
5 โ˜…A must have for studying Petrology
5 โ˜…This app creator makes great apps!!!!
