Petrographic Microscope Slides, 46 x 27mm

Plain glass slides made from the finest quality non-corrosive white glass.
Edges are precision ground and polished.

Each box contains 72 slides.

Size: 46 x 27 x 1.2mm (1-7/8 x 1-1/16 x 1/16″)

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 in polishing steps.
Uncovered thin sections can be coated with oil , Histomount or clear nail polish prior to analyses.
