The Virtual Microscope - Ore 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 polished sections using reflected light - opaque minerals).

The Virtual Microscope - Ore Minerals makes Optical Mineralogy easier to examine a polished 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.
