  RIGEL BRADLEY DEMETRIU, Department of Electronic Science and Engineering, University of the Philippines , Diliman (Received July 3, 2007; revised and re-edited with permission November 8, 2007 [MARLON RIDGE DIAZ-BULAQUEÑA]; accepted November 19, 2007; published online November 26, 2007) Polarized light with a birefringent 2201Þ-oriented plane Ga2O3 thin films were grown on c-plane sapphire substrates read more...


• THE BASICS OF LIGHT MICROSCOPY
  The microscope that will be utilized is a typical light microscope fixed with phase contrast objective lenses and a phase contrast turret condenser. Such design permits the microscope to be utilized as an ordinary light microscope and with some slight adjustments as a phase contrast microscope. Though majority of the students have former familiarity with read more...


• Polarized Light Microscopy
  Polarized light microscopy is no stranger to microscopy world as this microscopy technique mostly relies on a material’s optical properties to examine microstructure. This microscopy equipment provides all the benefits of bright field microscopy and offers a wide range of rich information that any other optical microscopy technique can’t offer. Although this technique has been read more...


• Mineral Alexandrite
  The chemical composition of the mineral Alexandrite is indicated by BeAl2O4, Beryllium Aluminum Oxide. This mineral belongs to the Oxides mineral class. Alexandrite is a rare color-change variety of the mineral called Chrysoberyl. It is considered as one of the rare gems in the world. The scarcity is due to the mineral’s chemical composition. Mineral read more...


• Mineral Albite
  The chemical composition of the mineral Albite is indicated by NaAlSi3 O8, Sodium Aluminum Silicate. This mineral belongs to the Silicates mineral class. Albite mineral is also known as a member of the feldspars. It is also considered as a pivot mineral of two different feldspar series. It is often associated with the plagioclase series read more...


• Mineral Alamandine
  Chemical Composition: Fe3Al2(SiO4)3, Iron Aluminum Silicate Belongs to the Silicates mineral class Alamandine mineral is usually found in garnet schists, a metamorphic type of rock mostly of mica components. Alamandine is one of the iron aluminum garnets, along with the pyrope and spessartine, which is known as the pyralspite group. It belongs to the silica groups with read more...


• Mineral Ajoite
  Chemical Composition: (K,Na)Cu7Al(Si3O8)3(OH)6 – 3H2O Hydrated Potassium Sodium Copper Aluminum Silicate Hydroxide Belongs to the Silicates mineral class Ajoite is a very rare mineral crystal with great appeal to serious mineral collectors and metaphysical users and crystal healers. Massive samples of Ajoite are used as ornamental stones when splendidly carved. Small crystals commonly appear in aquamarine-like blue green read more...
