Unfortunately, due to an increasing number of late payments by clients, I can no longer offer to complete work on a credit basis. From 1st October 2010, I will be changing my trading arrangements to require full payment for each thin-section contract before the finished slides can be dispatched. Please take this into consideration before accepting a quotation. I will send a short report on progress and an invoice for payment prior to completion.
'Hidden Worlds - Off the Bench', is a Facebook interactive discussion page for all Geoarchaeologists interested
in the production of thin-sections. Every couple of months, I will
feature a new researcher and exhibit the slides I've made for them in a
photo album. Together, we will talk about their fieldwork and the
preparation methodologies used to produce their slides. So, there should be plenty to
talk about in the 'virtual lab'. Please drop in - and you don't have to
wear a labcoat.
I now am in touch with a fellow thin-sectioner, Cédric Demeurie, who has his own freelance thin-section laboratory in France. He is able to make 'hard rock' thin-sections at a reasonable cost with a quick return. He is also able to offer other petrographic and sectioning services. Please visit his website for all your Earth Science needs.
