Micromorphology is the study of arrangements of particles and matrix and is primarily carried out using thin sections. It is a useful tool to characterize sedimentary facies because material is not disaggregated and the particles are examined in their original position relative to other particles, thus increasing the reliability of sedimentological interpretations. This technical note presents a method for the impregnation of marine sediment core subsamples for the preparation of thin sections. To achieve this, the pore water has to be replaced by an epoxy resin. The method consists of five main steps, described in detail: subsampling preparation; subsampling; sediment dehydration; impregnation; and drying and cutting"--Abstract, page 1.
