[meteorite-list] Microscopes and micrographs (I'm moving)

[STARSANDSCOPES at aol.com]

Hi list,  Paul should have the May  Meteorite Times up real soon.  I do a 
little thing called Micro  Visions.  It is usually just a few cool shots of the 
latest material I was  working with.  This May issue I covered microscopes.  I 
show different  kinds of microscopes and the images you can get from them.

It is not a  pitch for "one brand is better than an other" or any thing 
preachy like  that.  Just what type will give you these results, sort of  thing.

Last month was on using the quarter wave plate (retardation plate)  from a 
Sony Play Station III Blue Ray Disk Reader in thin section  examination.  If you 
didn't check it out just hit back issues and then  April.  It is worth the 
time.

Anyway,  I like to get emails and  to answer them but I am heading out with a 
truck tomorrow morning.  Back to  Idaho.  The place that is shown in Martin 
Horejsi's From The Strewn Fields  article in August 2006 Meteorite Magazine.  
We gave Nashville, Tennessee a  try but...   I took 4 truck loads out so I 
imagine it will be 4 to get  back.

I won't be able to answer emails with any timeliness.  I will  try and catch 
up every couple weeks for a while and I didn't want anyone to  think I was 
being rude or didn't want to talk.

Since Martin moved to  Montana, I don't know of too many list members in the 
area of South East  Idaho.  I am practically in Salt Lake City (2 hours).  Is 
any one in  the area who likes to cut rocks, hunt rocks, polish rocks, look at 
rocks or just  talk about rocks?
