Slicing and grinding machine laboratory and Oilfield instruments

The Slicing and grinding machine laboratory and Oilfield instruments is a semi-automatic device able to concomitantly prepare two thin sections rapidly and with great accuracy.

The apparatus consists of:

• A diamond-cutting blade
• A diamond-grinding wheel
• A versatile vacuum chuck for various slide sizes
• The vacuum chuck grasps the thin section during slicing and grinding operations.
• The sample is directly transferred from the cutting blade to the grinding wheel by means of a manually rotated wheel, facilitating the procedure and saving time.
• An adjustable screw controls the slicing thickness while a precision micrometer monitors grinding thickness of the thin section.
