Terrascope offers a complete service, from the preparation of your thin sections to their full micromorphology analysis. The lab is equipped with the latest technology: Leica Visoria P polarising microscope and Epson V850 high resolution scanner, ensuring you will get the best pictures and illustrations for your report and future publications.
The micromorphological analysis is done by Sabrina Save, trained at UCL and Brussels universities. She can write micromorphology reports in both French (native speaker) and English (fluent). She works on a variety of contexts, from rural settlements to urban stratigraphy, to help you answer various research questions from palaeo-soils to constructed floors, from colluvial to alluvial deposits, and identify specific human activities and trampling features.
Your report will include a high resolution scan of your thin sections, in both PPL and XPL, as well as a drawing of the micromorphological slides, with all the micromorphological units and specific features identified. Microphotographs of the highest quality of the main micromorphological features and biological/anthropogenic inclusions will also be taken and included as illustrations of our macroscopic and microscopic descriptions. All the micromophological features will be fully described, documented and interpreted to help you answer your research questions.
