what can be the best resin for making thin section out of alkali activated slag concretes blocks to study the porosity and microstructure? I did with blue dye Logitech resin but I have problem with counting porosity with optical microscopy images.

I think you should use the mercury porosimeter to measure the porosity and pore size of concrete rather than by optical microscopy.
