What it is
The Buehler MetaServe 2000 is a grinder/polisher.[1]
How it works
General reference — not yet source-verifiedGrinder/polisher machines use a rotating platen that carries abrasive paper or cloth. The specimen is pressed against the rotating surface with controlled force and lubrication. Multiple steps with progressively finer grits remove material and produce a polished finish.
Some grinders and polishers allow the operator to set rotation speed, applied force, and process time. The machine may have a single or dual platen design for sequential grinding and polishing steps without moving the specimen between separate machines.
Applications
The Buehler MetaServe 2000 was used to polish sectioned oyster valves for annual growth increment analysis in a study of common rock oyster age and growth.[1]
