Abstract/NotesSummaryThe Equivibration Curve technique of Joel (1963) is used to determine the orientation of a zoned mineral on the spindle stage axis and an average value for 2V. A bracketing method enables the extreme values of each refractive index to be determined for sodium light on a single grain, using the Focal-plane Screening technique of Cherkosov (1960).
