Abstract
The search and the determination of urinary crystals is an important chapter in the study of urolithiasis, either for clinical or for scientific purposes. The detection and determination of microcrystals are of paramount importance if one admits that: i. easily accessible solids may give direct clues to the phenomena occurring at remote places and ii. microcrystals represent probably the initial phases from which the nuclei of macroscopic stones are formed.
