Thin-section Petrography

Thin-Section Petrography is a systematic method in optical mineralogy involving the microscopic examination of thin slices of rock and mineral samples mounted on glass slides to identify and characterize their mineralogical composition, textural relationships, and structural features based on optical properties under polarized light.
