Introduction To Crystallography: A Laboratory Manual For Students Of Mineralogy And Geology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258443931)

Introduction to Crystallography: A Laboratory Manual for Students of Mineralogy and Geology by George Tunell is a comprehensive guide to the study of crystallography. The book is designed to provide students with a hands-on approach to learning the principles and techniques of crystallography. It is intended for students of mineralogy and geology who have little or no previous experience with crystallography.The manual begins with an introduction to the basic concepts of crystallography, including symmetry, crystal systems, and crystallographic axes. It then moves on to cover the techniques used to study crystals, including X-ray diffraction, polarized light microscopy, and optical properties. The manual also includes a section on crystal chemistry, which covers the chemical composition of crystals and the relationship between crystal structure and chemical properties.The laboratory exercises in the manual are designed to provide students with hands-on experience in crystallography. The exercises cover a range of topics, including crystal symmetry, crystal systems, X-ray diffraction, and crystal chemistry. Each exercise includes detailed instructions, background information, and a list of required materials.In addition to the laboratory exercises, the manual also includes a section on crystallographic databases and software. This section provides students with information on the various databases and software programs available for studying crystals.Overall, Introduction to Crystallography: A Laboratory Manual for Students of Mineralogy and Geology by George Tunell is an excellent resource for students who are interested in learning about crystallography. The manual is well-written, easy to follow, and includes a wealth of information on the principles and techniques of crystallography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
