Preparation of the calcite crystal

Produced sample

Sample
Calcite, surface parallel to the crystallographic c-axis (this sample)
Processing steps
Step Chronology Date Type Process Changes
#1 before layer formation 2005-03-16 mechanical embedding the calcite crystal in epoxy resin
#2 before layer formation 2005-03-16 mechanical cutting the embedded calcite crystal, the cut surface is parallel to the c-axis
#3 during layer formation 2005-03-16 mechanical polishing of the calcite crystal surface parallel to the c-axis
Comments
The sample preparation of the related sample was reconsidered. It differs from the description in Posch et al. 2007. Now the corrected sample preparation is represented in SSHADE.
