Hello, The thin-sections I have made in the US are all 27x46mm, and they seemed to work fine in the Electron Microprobe of the University of Arizona. I do know that thin-sections of this same size are also made for other instirutions. However I have seen larger and thicker thin-sections, but those had been made in Europe. I hope this helps.
