Published by Buehler Volume 3, Issue 5 USING MICROSTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS TO SOLVE PRACTICAL PROBLEMS Written by: Petrographic Examination Methods Wase Ahmed, Petrography is the study of rocks and for examination with a reflected light Materials Engineer, minerals using a microscope. Traditionally, microscope. Thin sections, on the other Buehler petrography was limited to the identification hand, are extremely thin, generally 30µm or of rocks, minerals and ores and to the thinner, and are observed with a transmitted characterization of properties such as polarized light microscope. The following cleavage, twining, reflectance, and so forth. chart, Figure 1, describes a general Today, however, petrographic techniques procedure required to prepare both thin are employed to analyze many materials sections and polished bulk specimens. other than minerals, for example, ceramics, glass, concrete, cement, soils, biomaterials, Figure 1. Petrographic Preparation polymers, to name just a few. Procedures The birth of petrographic analysis began Pre-Preparation Editor: wi
