A method is presented for the microscopic examination of asbestos‐cement products. The use of petrographic thin sections and polished sections in determining composition, texture, grain size, and cement‐silica reaction is described. The preparation of thin sections and polished sections, using epoxy resin as an impregnant, is outlined.
