Sinopsis
Excerpt from Methods in Practical Petrology: Hints on the Preparation and Examination of Rock Slices
Apparatus necessary - Rock cutting machines - Preparation of material First grinding Mounting Second grinding Minerals liable to give trouble - Finishing.
Rocks present such a wide variation in texture, hardness, cohesion, composition, and the mutual rela tions of their constituent minerals, that many methods for the preparation of rock slices have been employed by different workers to suit their particular require ments.
In this chapter we shall describe the methods which we have found to be generally applicable to most kinds of rock, though certain types will necessarily demand special treatment. More particularly is this the case with some coarse varieties where the constituent minerals are loosely intergrown.
Fine textured rocks are in general simpler to deal with, their internal structure materially aiding the production of a thin slice. In general slices should not be more than 33133 inch thick, when quartz and felspar, if present in the rock, will show grey tints of the first order when examined in polarized light.

Excerpt from Methods in Practical Petrology: Hints on the Preparation and Examination of Rock Slices
This volume is intended to act as a practical companion to the standard Petrological text-books.
For this reason, we have omitted all detailed descriptions of rocks minerals, and structures.
We have tried to indicate the great importance of methodical procedure in the microscopical work, which forms such an important branch of Petrology.
Although the usual University examinations do not require a knowledge of the preparation of rock slices, we have made this an important feature of the book.
We have found that very little literature on this subject is easily accessible to the student, and we have, therefore, described the processes involved in some detail, in the hope that the book may be of use, not only to students, but to those who are starting research, and to others who have been accustomed in the past to send their material to Germany. With this object in view, we have only described methods which we have satisfactorily employed in the Sedgwick Museum at Cambridge, and we do not attempt to deal with elaborate processes suitable for firms operating on a commercial scale.
In the Appendix we have given the methods of preparation of some of the stains employed in microscopical work, so that any chemical student may be able, if necessary, to prepare the small quantities which he may require.
