Hi chondrule fan list members, I wanted to share some micrographs of a
chondrule. The material is no big deal. (It is pending but it looks like it
will be L4/5.)
A chondrule? You have got to see these shots. They were taken in incident
(reflected) cross polarized light which, unlike transmitted Xpol, is true
color. Just what it looks like up close. My first love in meteorite microscope
examination!
No thin section, just a hand sample polished to 1/4 micron.
I have 5 images that I can put in an email (nothing to down load).
If you like chondrules, you will want to see this one.
I have done this before and I am up to nothing. I am not harvesting email
addresses! It may be some time before classification is complete and I won't
post images to the Gallery until it is named. Some of you have received
email image files from me before, perhaps you could let the others know I am
just sharing some cool shots and nothing more!
