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.
