A Method of making Thin Sections from Friable Materials and its use in the Examination of Shales from the Coal Measures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
During the investigation of certain water-soluble and porous materials it was necessary to produce thin sections showing their structure and crystal composition. Using water as a lubricant during the thinning of the sections the specimens tended to break up and essential constituents were lost through solution, while paraffin had a marked solvent action on the Canada balsam cement resulting in disintegration of the thin section and contamination by particles of carborundum.
