Virtual Microscope - Minerals APK

🌟 update to target Android 14 (API level 34);
🌟 fixed minor bugs.

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).
