The technicians have the ability to coverslip the slides with a liquid cover slip or polish the slides with a Logitech PM2A Precision Polishing & Lapping Machine. Both the LP-30 and the PM2A have ABS1 Abrasive Auto Feed systems. All thin sections are the property of ODP, but may be borrowed for study.
