PETROGRAPHY

GEOLINE

metkon.com
Petrography is the science of investigating microstructure,
composition and inter-component relationship of rocks,
ceramics, minerals, man-made materials etc. The method
of prepare petrographic samples for investigation is called
"thin-sectioning". Preparation of thin-sections require
very precise instruments and know-how.

METKON offers complete range of instruments for

petrographic preperation, starting with a piece of
rock and finishing at 20 microns…
 GEOCUT

speed variation with soft start and soft stop. The working wheel is
powered by a high torque 1.0 HP electric motor with both clockwise and
counterclockwise wheel rotation possibility. By using appropriate
working discs, it can carry grinding, lapping and polishing process very
smoothly. The drive elements are fixed on heavy duty aluminium alloy
casting. The wheels are mounted on ball bearings allowing the application
of high pressures to prepare even large specimens. Ball bearings used
provide quite and vibration free operation. Water inlet and flexible water
outlets with control valves for wet grinding are standard features.

VACUMET 52
• Compact and simple
• Built-in vacuum sytem with Gauge
• Efficient impregnation
• Multi-specimen application.

VACUMET 52 is designed for embedding and impregnation of porous

materials. It removes the trapped air from the mounting material and
eliminates the gaps between the specimen and the resin.

Most mineralogical specimens have porosities, cavities and cracks

and ther fore need to be under vacuum. VACUMET 52 fulfills this
requirement easily and efficiently. In addition, VACUMET 52 can also
be used for glueing the specimens on the glass slides for further
processing in thin section preparation.

METKON offers wide range of cold mounting consumables high

quality embedding forms for different types of mineralogical
application.

GEOFIX
GEOFIX is a fixture for mounting specimens to glass slides for
thin-sectioning. It provides a uniform thickness of bonding material
between specimen and glass slide. The spring activated loading
system applies optimum force on each specimen and glass slide. 8
specimens can be cured at the same time.

The base of GEOFIX is made by high thermal conductivity material.

GEOFIX can easily be placed on HOT PLATE. This provides fast curing
time of bonding material.

HOT PLATE
Hot Plate is used for fast curing of adhesive resin bonding material
between glass slide and specimen.

The digital LED display provides degree-by-degree temperature

setting and control, with refined hotplate sensitivity. Temperature
setting is retained in memory, even after power off. The base is solid
aluminum with excellent thermal properties and uniform heat
distribution over the working area. Heat can be set up to 300 C .
Actual temperature is displayed for complete assurance. Metkon Hot
Plate has the highest safety standards. The heater is automatically
switches off as soon as the set temperature is reached.

Hot plate can accommodate two Geofix and total of 16 specimen can
be bonded simultaneously. The total curing time significantly
decreases with using Metkon Hot Plate.
