For mineralogical specimens, the surface is prepared for examination with a reflected light microscope and the preparation procedure is basically similar to the preparation of metallographic specimen. Preparing thin sections, on the other hand, requires highly specialized equipment and skills because the specimen is extremely thin, generally around 30 microns for observations with transmitted light […]
