British petrologist and chemist. Born in Woodbourne, Yorkshire. He pioneered the study of rocks under a microscope by cutting them into thin slices. Using this method, he discovered that the cleavage of slate matches the arrangement of mica flakes, and that quartz contains many fluid inclusions. He also studied meteorites and steel samples under a microscope, contributing to the establishment of metallography.

イギリスの岩石学者、化学者。ヨークシャー州ウッドボーンに生まれる。岩石を薄片にして顕微鏡で研究することを創始した。この方法により、粘板岩の劈開(へきかい)と雲母(うんも)片の配列が一致していることや、石英の中に流体の包有物が多数含まれていることなどを発見した。さらに転じて、隕石(いんせき)や鋼の試料も顕微鏡で研究し、金相学の樹立に貢献した。 [橋本光男] [参照項目] | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
