Abstract
Microtome, lathe, and hand-sampling under the microscope have been used for the microsampling methods of the fossils and rock samples. However, these methods were difficult to get samples on micrometer scale precisely. GEOMILL326 provides a computer controlled microsampling technology on 1/1000mm scale. GEOMILL326 is effective for the microsampling along 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.
