The PetroThin Thin Sectioning System is a precise easy-to-use precision thin section cutting machine for re-sectioning and thinning a wide variety of samples, such as rocks and minerals, ceramics, concrete, bone, and teeth for performing materials characterization.
Every PetroThin comes with a diamond cutting blade and a diamond grinding cup wheel mounted on one spindle. The single spindle design ensures parallelism of sample edges by eliminating the need to remove the glass slide from the machine between steps. Two precision micrometers are used for controlling re-sectioning and thinning.
