Part of the rock is reduced and laminated until a very thin section (<0.03 mm) is obtained. Then polished and mounted between glasses as a microscope slide. Is used to determine minerals in a rock. Light can go through the sample to be studied under a petrographic microscope I think the text refers to polished section. If it would be about thin section, the term in Spanish would have been lámina delgada A beautiful polished section of agate and quartz can be seen here: http://www.superstock.com/stock-photos-images/491-15450 Thin and polished sections: http://www.aeclaboratoriet.dk/uk/page27.htm |
