Ward's® Vitrophyre Thin Section NM

When minerals, rocks, and fossils cannot be accurately identified by macroscopic observation and testing, thin section slides can reveal the composition and structure of the specimens on a microscopic level.

Thin section slides are precisely ground to a thickness of 0.03 mm across the entire specimen area. Mineral and rock thin sections are mounted on 27×46 mm microscope slides, and protected by a glass coverslip. All thin section slides are labeled for reference.
