Practical Works in Petrology of Igneous Rocks
The aim of this practical work is to put the student in front of an instrumentthat will accompany him throughout his training, for this, it is therefore essential to familiarize him with this work tool.
It is essential to give him a presentation of the different parts of which it is composed as well as the adjustments necessary to obtain a good setting.
