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 (❗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.

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

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

Latest updates

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.

1 ★For a pity i could not found petalite in your database ...
5 ★I am a Geology Honours student and this app is very helpful.
4 ★Def. worth the price if you have to work with a microscope to identify thin sections at some point. +almost all important minerals in 360° view, (only missed Flourite so far) +extremely helpful in identifying, drawing and comparing thin sections. = The Zoom is just that. A zoom of the photo and doesn't do much. - no lower magnification, some minerals are too large to see the crystal form. - No opaque minerals (in another app) (I'd rather pay a bit more than needing 10 different apps)
5 ★Excellent
5 ★Geo student here. This is pure Au!
4 ★Very good application for geology students to level up their petrographic skills.
3 ★Not all minerals are there ! I wish they will update
4 ★Good app. I hope you add more minerals to this library.
5 ★Thank you very much! It helps me a lot!
3 ★Needs more minerals, otherwise a well made app and useful at that (for the minerals that exist so far). Would be 5 stars with some more minerals, ex. K-feldspars could be expanded.
