[meteorite-list] Petrological microscope

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

My favorite site is the Nikon  
http://www.microscopyu.com/tutorials/java/polarized/crystal/index.html    You can read for hours.  This link is to the cross 
polarized light section  but you can click on the links to the left to go to 
any techniques.

Watch  out!  Once you get hooked, you will end up deciding on a new meteorite 
or a  new lens.  It is a slippery slope! 

Have fun and let us all know how  it goes.  Tom Phillips

well!  I have  been loaned a fantastic Swift petrological microscope and 
about 100  terrestrial t/s (but only one meteorites NWA 869)!
It is one heckkuva piece  and I foresee a huge learning curve.... any good 
and informative "101s" out  there in web world I can go to?
