The initial step of preparing the Thin Section involves cutting the rock sample to a standard size, fitting to a 48 x 26 glass slide, commonly known as the Giessner format. This precise cutting is ...
"The key for identification of rock-forming minerals provides an efficient and systematic approach to identifying minerals in thin-section. It is structured in the form of a dichotomous key, ...
When the Great Basin Science Sample and Records Library (GBSSRL) and Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology were presented with the challenge of identifying the best, most efficient way to digitally ...
The Digital Services unit at the University Libraries has recently digitized mineral thin sections from the Great Basin Science Sample and Records Library (GBSSRL), Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology.
A thin slice of the ancient rocks collected from Gakkel Ridge near the North Pole, photographed under a microscope and seen under cross-polarized light. Field width ~ 14mm. Analyzing rocks in thin ...
How hard is a diamond? What is the difference between granites and garnets? Minerals are the building blocks of rocks. They are inorganic, crystalline solids with a known chemistry. Examples of ...
In this webinar, Matthew Andrew, PhD discusses how to bring petrography – the art and science of looking at rock thin sections – into the digital era. This allows for the digitization of historic or ...
In the world of geological and mineral analysis, preparing thin sections is critical for examining the internal structure and composition of rock samples. Using QATM equipment, we can ensure precision ...
