Meteorite thin-sections are carefully prepared glass slides suitable for mineralogical and petrology studies when viewed through a microscope. They are thin slices of meteorites that have been carefully ground down and polished so thinly that light can pass through the meteorite's mineral structures.

In transmitted light, thin sections reveal the texture and crystal shape of minerals and other identifying meteoritical secondary structures while through polarized light, the mineralogy is awash in color allowing for more complete mineral identification.
