Rock types can be identified through analysis using various methods, one of which is petrographic analysis. This method relies on the description of transparent minerals contained within the rock, observed using a polarizing microscope. In this microscopic examination, the rock cannot be directly identified without preparation. Instead, it must be thinned to a specific thickness and undergo several preparation steps to allow for microscopic observation. This preparation process is known as thin section preparation.
