The study of opaque minerals of synthetic solids in published section using the polarizing reflected light microscope is the most important technique for the identification and characterization of the opaque phases in a sample and the textural relationships between them. Since most metalliferous ores are comprised of opaque minerals, this study has been traditionally known as ore microscopy and has found its greatest applications in the study of mineral deposits. it may be applied, however, as a general technique in the study of igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic rocks containing opaque minerals and and even in the study of metallurgical products or other synthetics materials. The objective of this book to present an up-to-date introduction to ore microscopy for the student or professional scientist unfamiliar with the technique, an introduction that would accompany a course at the senior undergraduate or graduate student level or provide the professional with a first step in familiarization. No attempt has been made at a comprehensive treatment of subject, for which the reader is referred to the excellent works of such authors as Ramdohr, Unytenbogaart and Burke, Galopin and henry cited in relevant sections of this text. Emphasis is placed on the basic skills required for the study of opaque minerals in polished section, and information in the text and appedinces on the more common ore minerals and assemblages provides examples.
