The Polishing Lab is used by undergraduate and graduate students for sample preparation. This lab includes a wide array of grinding and polishing wheels, mounting presses, a sectioning saw, and a sample etching fume hood station. A sample goes through each of these steps before it can be finally viewed under a microscope.
