Custom Thin Section Labs

I am trying to prepare as complete a list as possible of labs offering
custom petrographic thin section services. While I have been unable to
locate any such facilities in the UK, there are several US and
Canadian facilities. If anyone has any additions - any place in the
world - I would appreciate their input!
