The Refractometer in Mineralogy Instruction
McKague, H. Lawrence
Journal of Geological Education, 19, 2, 67-72, Mar 71
Speed and simplicity allow the refractometer to be used at many levels of instruction. The optical theory for its operation is reviewed, as are the various uses of the refractometer, including its usefulness in introducing and demonstrating optical theory and in determining optical properties of minerals.
