The course is incorporated in GEO-3111 (Optical mineralogy/sediment petrography), and it is recommended that the two courses are followed contemporaneously. The lectures focus on elementary light wave theory, how light behaves when entering minerals and how the optical microscope is constructed and how it works. The main part of the course is the practical exercises where the student learns how to identify and describe the important rock-forming minerals. The student must turn in a written journal for acceptance before examination. | Recommended previous qualifications
