We offer petrographical analyses of natural rocks using polarization- and reflected light microscopy from thin sections or polished rock slabs/mounts (only reflected light). Petrographic descriptions can be made from the already existing microscope preparates OR from rock samples that we prepare for the petrography using external thin section preparation labs. Petrographical services and Report includes:
- Planning and executing sampling campaign for petrographical samples (e.g. drill cores, field sampling)
- Identification of main- and accessory minerals with visual estimates of the modal percentages
- Ore mineralogy, mineral associations, textural settings
- Rock textures
- Photomicrographs from the representative locations
