Thin sections made from rocks, minerals, cement/concrete, construction and building materials, and bone are mounted with epoxy, Crystalbond™ or Mounting Media onto a 46 x 27mm glass slide for routine petrography, reflected and transmitted light microscopy, EPMA, SEM/EDS, automated mineralogy, cathodoluminescence (CL) and EBSD analyses. Coverslips reduce light scattering effects due to remnant pits and scratches formed during polishing. Uncovered thin sections can be coated with oil, Histomount™ or clear nail polish prior to analyses.
