Micromilling and sample recovering techniques using high-precision micromill “GEOMILL326”

Abstract

Microtome, lathe, and hand-sampling under the microscope have been used for the microsampling methods of the fossils the growth banding such as coral, bivalves, stalactites, and useful for cutting of the metal with a single crystal diamond drill bit. Moreover, an apparatus of collecting powder samples to the container for chemical analyses with high recovery rate was also developed.
