This video shows a thin section of a rock made of calcite and which is largely composed of skeletal grains (bioclasts). The properties of the main rock-forming minerals as seen under a polarising light microscope are described. Images in this resource could be used to practise microscope drawing skills. Thin section 5.

Earth Sciences questions and answers. A "thin section" is a thin slice of a rock that is placed on a slide and examined under different light. Geologist will use these sections to get useful information about the rock, such as mineral composition. Upon examining a thin section, you notice crystals of amphibole and calcium-rich plagioclase ...

Lap the base of the potted sample then mount to the glass slide and set in the Geofix for a further 8-10 hours. This sample can then be placed either back on the Geocut or the Geoform to create the size of sample you require for the next stage.

Mark the Rock. Now, it's time to prepare your sample. First, decide where you're going to cut. This isn't something to be taken lightly. Generally, you should take a section perpendicular to the rock's fabric to avoid damaging the material. Once you've chosen the part you want to sample, draw a line on it using a permanent marker. 3.

In a thin-section analysis, we focus our study on mineral constituents, allochems, texture, sorting (or crystal size range), pore types and abundance of pore-filling cements or alteration/residual products. This is the base for our diagenetic interpretation, or paragenetic history. We usually use to work with blue-dyed epoxy impregnated thin ...

A rock thin section is created by gluing a small piece of rock onto a glass slide, then grinding it down to a thickness of 30 microns (the average human hair is about 100 microns in diameter) so that light shines through it when examined under the microscope.

A thin section is a 30-micrometer-thick slice of rock that is attached to a glass slide with epoxy. The thin slice of rock can be topped with a thin cover glass to enhance the optical qualities of the thin section.

Summary The analysis of rock thin section is a basic experimental method in geological research. The traditional method was manual identification by using a polarizing microscope(S Chauhan, et al., 2016). Thus the process is time-consuming and greatly influenced by human factors, which will result in low accuracy and the study of …

Abstract. A firm rock or mineral of which a thin section is to be made must first be sawed to obtain a slice approximately ⅛ in. thick. This is then cemented to a numbered glass slide with Canada balsam, pressing the slice at an oblique angle against the glass slide to eliminate bubbles. The slice is then ground on a rotating lap using IF ...
