Spanish to English Science Science (general)

polished section

There are two ways of studying a rock specien under the microscope:

Polished section. A face of the rock is polished, and the laminated (3 mm) to observe the relationshiops of the minerals, or the presence of native elements (copper, gold, silver). In sedimentary rocks, useful to study grain size or microfossil content, matrix and cement. Lighyt van not pass through the section

Thin section. Part of the rock is reduced and laminated until a very thin section (<0.03 mm) is obtained. Then polished and mounted between glasses as a microscope slide. Is used to determine minerals in a rock. Light can go through the sample to be studied under a petrographic microscope

I think the text refers to polished section. If it would be about thin section, the term in Spanish would have been lámina delgada

A beautiful polished section of agate and quartz can be seen here:

polished sheetmetal

More text might give a better translation but for the explanation and request, this is it.
Peer comment(s):

neutral S Ben Price : This is talking about geology (sedimentation and rocks). So sheetmetal can't be right. Jose, you are "5" confidence kind of person, I see. ;)
