Jlab Export is a leading Thin Section of Rocks & Minerals Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Thin Section of Rocks & Minerals (code EL-ERAM-4344) is a set of 20 mounted thin-section slides of rocks and minerals, including igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, for microscope work in geology and earth science classes. Every section is fixed on a glass slide under a cover held with transparent glue. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Thin-Section Sets?
| Set | Slides | What the listing names | Mounting |
|---|---|---|---|
| This set (EL-ERAM-4344) | 20 | Rocks and minerals; rock slides from anthracite to slate | Glass slides, covers, transparent glue |
| Thin Section of Rocks | 20 | The same rock types, rocks only | Not stated |
| Thin Section of Minerals | 20 | Minerals from amethyst to tourmaline | Glass slides, covers, transparent glue |
A combined set suits an introductory course that covers both topics with one box of slides; departments that teach optical mineralogy and petrology separately may prefer the two dedicated sets.
What Is the Rocks and Minerals Thin-Section Set Used For?
Rocks are built from minerals, and a mixed slide set lets students make that link at the microscope. They learn the look of common minerals and then find the same grains inside whole rocks: quartz and feldspar in granite, calcite in limestone and marble, plagioclase and pyroxene in basalt and gabbro. Comparing the rock slides shows the main textures of each group — interlocking crystals in igneous rocks, cemented grains and fragments in sedimentary rocks, and recrystallised or banded fabrics in metamorphic rocks.
The mounted slides can be viewed with a standard compound microscope for grain shape and texture; a polarising microscope is needed for interference colours and extinction angles. The set is used in undergraduate geology and earth science practicals, geography departments and teacher-training labs. Keep slides in a slide box, handle them by the edges and clean the cover only with lens tissue.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Slide list — ask for the current list of rock and mineral slides, as the listing names rocks only and ends with “etc.”
- Set type — this combined set, or the separate rocks and minerals sets.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many slides does the set contain, and how are they mounted?
Twenty. Each thin section is mounted on a glass slide with a cover fixed by transparent glue.
Which minerals are in the set?
The listing does not name them; it names twenty rock types, from anthracite to slate, and ends with “etc.” Ask JLab for the current slide list so you can see how the set divides between rocks and minerals.
How does it differ from the Thin Section of Rocks set?
Both are sets of 20 slides and name the same rocks. This set is described as covering rocks and minerals and states its mounting on glass slides with covers and transparent glue; the rocks set does not describe its mounting.
What microscope is needed?
A compound microscope shows texture and grain size. To identify minerals by interference colours and extinction, use a polarising microscope with crossed polars.
Who manufactures the set?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an educational lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and located on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The slide sets are made in JLab’s own works, not sourced from traders, so colleges, universities, dealers and importers deal directly with the maker, and each set is visually checked before dispatch. The company is registered under CIN U29309HR2017PTC069123 and holds MSME Udyam registration UDYAM-HR-01-0003849 as a manufacturing enterprise. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region, for example El Salvador in Central America and the Caribbean, Bahrain in the Middle East, Mexico in North America, Brazil in South America and Chad in Central Africa. See the JLab lab tenders page for tender purchases.
