Kurs zahrnuje práci s polarizačním mikroskopem, optické metody studia horninotvorných minerálů (určování indexu lomu, úhlu zhášení, dvojlomu, charakteru minerálu), izotropní a anizotropní minerály, určování optických vlastností jednoosých a dvojosých minerálů při rovnoběžných a zkřížených nikolech a poznávání nejběžnějších horninotvorných minerálů.

Target students: bachelor and master level

Goals of this course are to become familiar with the function, adjustment, and use of the petrographic microscope, to understand crystal optics and practical methods of identification of rock-forming minerals (relief, pleochroism, extinction, birefringence, etc.). The student will become familiar with most common rock-forming minerals.
