Re: Uncovered geological thin sections

Hello,

I am wondering, where can I find geological thin sections that don't
have cover slips? I want to use them for both light microscopy and
scanning electron microscopy (for backscatter detection). I've checked
I am specifically looking for a porphyritic basalt. I've checked the
ward's catalog, and they all have cover slips. I have a thin section,
perhaps if there isn't any way to order a slide, someone knows the
best way to remove the glued on cover slip?

Remember, you will have lots of compatibility problems with your
higher NA objectives such as the 40X objective. It might be better to
use metallurgical objectives of see if you can find No Cover Glass
objectives. The higher the NA, the more you need the cover glass.

Thanks,
