Petrological microscopes. A petrological microscope is essentially an ordinary microscope provided with a number of special adjustments and appliances for the study of rocks and crystals. The most important of these additions are a polarising apparatus and a rotating stage. A polarising apparatus consists of a Nicol prism made of Iceland spar which must be placed below the object to be examined and a similar but somewhat smaller prism which must be placed above the object. At least one of the prisms and the object must be capable of rotation, and the amount of the rotation determined on a scale. There must be a means of rapidly throwing.
