Author: R.C. Emmons
The universal stage is beginning to receive in America the attention which is due so powerful an instrument. This growing interest of American petrographers has inspired the discussion offered here since at the time of writing there is no unified account in English of the uses and varied applications of the instrument. I am limiting my subject matter to the bare essentials of theory and I am emphasizing the practical application of the universal stage to everyday petrographic problems. Further I am treating only the universal stage with five instead of four axes of rotation in recognition of the evident reluctance of the average American petrographer to use the stage with four axes of rotation except in the limited study of uniaxial crystals.
