Petrographic Sample Preparation

LP50 Auto Precision Lapping and Polishing Machine

Fugro Robertson has been providing petrographic thin section and other specialist preparations for internal and external clients for over 30 years. Employing highly experienced technicians and modern equipment (including a Logitech LP50 Auto Precision Lapping and Polishing Machine), our laboratories (relocated in 2006 into a new purpose-built facility) have processed over 100,000 samples since their formation.

Fast turnarounds or large volumes of samples can be handled with ease and precision.
