The initial step of preparing the Thin Section involves cutting the rock sample to a standard size, fitting to a 48 x 26 glass slide, commonly known as the Giessner format. This precise cutting is ...

Cesare’s images are photographs of thin sections (just 0.03 mm thick) of rock illuminated with polarized light. Geologists regularly use polarized light to look at thin sections under a ...

In order to prepare microscope sections of the harder forms of these materials, some investigators have had recourse to the petrologists' method of grinding and polishing thin sections for ...

At the Michigan Geological Repository for Research and Education at Western Michigan University, we have an extensive collection of thin sections. Thin sections are very thin slivers of rock (about 30 ...

In this webinar, Matthew Andrew, PhD discusses how to bring petrography – the art and science of looking at rock thin sections – into the digital era. This allows for the digitization of historic or ...

HIGASHIOSAKA, Osaka -- From rocks to starfish and other organisms, Tajiri Thin Section Lab here has gained attention for its expertise in cutting materials into ultrathin slices, known as "thin ...

Master Bond EP21NDCL is a unique two component epoxy system that cures optically clear in thin sections, even though Part A is translucent and Part B is light amber. This non-drip compound is ...

Traditional tissue sections were not thin enough for penetration by the electron beam, and known fixation methods and wax embedments could not preserve cellular details at the submicrometre level.

In the world of geological and mineral analysis, preparing thin sections is critical for examining the internal structure and composition of rock samples. Using QATM equipment, we can ensure ...
