With over 45 years of experience preparing geological thin sections, I have developed and refined the practical techniques needed to turn rock samples into high-quality sections ready for examination under the microscope. This course brings that experience together into a detailed, step-by-step instructions, covering the complete preparation process from selecting and cutting samples through to grinding, polishing and producing the finished thin section. Numerous instructional videos demonstrate the techniques in practice, allowing you to see exactly how each stage is carried out and helping you develop the confidence and skills needed to prepare your own geological thin sections.
