At Lab Crystals, we are a trusted name in thin section preparation for a wide variety of delicate and scientific samples. We support researchers, universities, and institutions around the world by delivering high-quality petrographic thin sections tailored for advanced analysis techniques such as confocal microscopy, petrography, and material forensics.
We specialise in ancient pigment sample analysis, handling archaeological materials such as paint fragments, leather samples, and fossils. These materials require careful preservation, and our lab ensures each sample maintains its structural integrity while providing crystal-clear results under the microscope.
Our services also include fossil and bone thin sectioning, including shark teeth, tooth samples, and microfossils. These confocal-ready tooth samples are used extensively in evolutionary biology, dental research, and isotopic analysis. The precision and clarity we offer allow seamless application in thin sections for microscopy and imaging.
For geological and materials science research, we prepare thin sections of coal, mudstone, soil, meteorite samples, and concrete. These sections help institutions and labs better understand material composition, structural degradation, and environmental interactions.
To ensure consistency and quality, all our samples are made using premium thin section epoxy and glass slides, along with precision grinding and polishing techniques. These are essential for creating distortion-free samples suitable for both optical and digital examination.
In addition to sample preparation, Lab Crystals provides full training for thin section technicians, enabling labs to develop in-house expertise. We also offer lab setup support, helping institutions build customised spaces for efficient processing.
We take great pride in not only our technical accuracy but also our recognition in the research community. Our work was recently cited in a peer-reviewed publication in the International Journal of Latest Research in Science and Technology, where the authors acknowledged that their thin sections were prepared at Lab Crystals, Lucknow. This mention highlights the trust placed in our methods by scientists and academics alike.
Whether you’re part of a university, museum, or research organisation, we’re equipped to deliver sample preparation for research labs, including thin sections for universities and museums across the globe.
Lab Crystals is your one-stop destination for reliable, research-grade thin section services and consumables.
