Digital Microscope - S260/CDR/E
'The Digital Microscope' allows students access to an expensive petrological microscope from their computer with 27 thin sections from the 'Digital Rock Kit' and almost 4000 high-quality colour images. A help menu explains how to use a geological microscope and a full 360 degree rotation of all samples is possible under a variety of microscope-viewing conditions.All thin sections can be taken from their virtual storage drawers to be laid out on a simulated light box; viewed at x10 with a virtual hand lens and transferred to the digital microscope. Students can view samples under both normal, (polarised) light and between crossed polars but, unlike a conventional microscope, the same sample can be viewed under both conditions concurrently.
