mined, and preparation of material for examination is simple and rapid. Several 

 common oils, such as clove oil, may be used for the immersion medium. Even 

 with one oil, some index information can be obtained ; that is, one can determine 

 whether the indices of the mineral are less or greater than that of the oil, and 

 whether the difference is small or great.
