Samples tailored to your specifications
We work closely with you to ensure that thin sections are optimized for the specific analyses you require; final products can be customized in terms of size, thickness, staining and the inclusion of cover slips and include:
- Thin sections prepared from cuttings, outcrops and rock samples of different lithologies
- Specialized polished thin sections tailored for advanced analyses such as QEMSCAN, cathodoluminescence (CL) and fluid inclusion (FI)
- Coated stubs optimized for scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
- Concrete sample preparation — polished tiles and oversized thin sections
