Sample preparation starts with "Cutting" and good "Cutting"
means a good start.
Selecting the right cut-off wheel ensures freedom from burn and
distortion and is the best way to save time and consumables.
Correct cutting produce specimens which are in perfect condition
for the next preparation steps. Precision cutting is used for precise and deformation-free cutting of “Metals, Ceramics, Electronic Components, Crystals, Composites, Biomaterials, Sintered Carbides, Minerals, etc. Sample Preparation
for Metallographic, Metallography, Metallurgical of sectioning for abrasive cutting, machines
or equipment such as Metacut, Servocut, Micracut”
For minerological specimens, the surface is prepared for
examination with a reflected light microscope and the
preparation procedure is basically similar to the preparation of
metallographic specimens.
Preparing thin sections, on the other hand, requires highly
specialized equipment and skills because the specimen is
extremely thin, generally around 20 microns for observations
with transmitted light microscope. |
