[meteorite-list] new thread - how to tell if you are stepping up

[almitt]

Greetings,

I've seen the term thin slides used to describe thin sections every now and then. Having 
been a big supplier of sections for many years I have never called them thin slides or slides. Wondering if this is a scientifically accepted term for thin sections or not. It's not an important issue and I am fine with calling them either way but wondering what the general consenses is, how they got name something different. 

(5) you get into thin slides
