Microtectonics

Microtectonics is the interpretation of small-scale deformation structures in rocks. These structures are studied by optical microscope and contain abundant information on the history and type of deformation and metamorphism in a rock and are, therefore, used by most geologists to obtain data for large-scale geological interpretations.This CD contains all the materials from the Microtectonics textbook, including text, boxes on special subjects, an extensive glossary and numerous photographs and explanatory drawings. In addition to what is given in the textbook, all drawings are in colour on this CD. There are also colour photographs of microstructures and many videos, such as animated line drawings and virtual microscope images. The CD is suited for independent use during optical studies on microstructures, as a reference manual and as a tool for short courses.
