Microlite. Microlite was once [when?] known as a pale-yellow, reddish-brown, or black isometric mineral composed of sodium calcium tantalum oxide with a small amount of fluorine. Its chemical formula is (Na,Ca)2Ta2O6(O,OH,F). Today [when?] it is a name of a group of oxide minerals of a similar stoichiometry having tantalum prevailing over ...
Microlites. Microlites are minute crystals in an amorphous matrix. In igneous petrology, the term microlitic is used to describe vitric (glassy, non-crystalline, amorphous) matrix containing microscopic crystals. [1] Microlitic rocks are a type of hypocrystalline rocks. [2] Unlike ordinary phenocrysts, which can be seen with little or no ...
Ultralight aviation (called microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, 1- or 2-seat fixed-wing aircraft. Some countries differentiate between weight-shift control and conventional three-axis control aircraft with ailerons, elevator and rudder, calling the former "microlight" and the latter "ultralight".

Macrolides are a class of mostly natural products with a large macrocyclic lactone ring to which one or more deoxy sugars, usually cladinose and desosamine, may be attached. The lactone rings are usually 14-, 15-, or 16-membered. Macrolides belong to the polyketide class of natural products. Some macrolides have antibiotic or antifungal ...
Wodginite. Flattened dipyramidal to prismatic crystals in radiating groups; granular, massive. Wodginite is a manganese, tin, tantalum oxide mineral with the chemical formula Mn2+(Sn,Ta)Ta2O8. It may also include significant amounts of niobium. [2] [3]
