[meteorite-list] Question, Thin sections

[Impactika at aol.com]

Thank You!

If you are really interested by Microprobe, take the time to look at all 
the PDF files attached to my article. They are great, I just didn't have 
enough space.
All the pictures you see on my Thin-Sections page were taken by John 
Kashuba, who also writes for Meteorite-Magazine and Meteorite-Times, so he knows 
what he is looking at! 

Do let me know if you have other questions.
Thanks.

Hi Anne,

Thank you so much for the links! 

The article you written is outstanding! about the microprob lab. I have 
been 
searching for a article like that for a long time. And cannot wait to go 
through 
all your thin section photos you have for sale! I looked at a few photos 
and 
they are super nice!

Thanks again!

dave

Hello Dave,

Interesting question.
I am not a scientist, but because I sell a lot of thin-sections, I deal 
with many scientists, and very often, and I am told that Tom's pictures are 
very pretty but often at a much too high a magnification, so 
crystallization 
patterns, among others things, become difficult to see.

I would suggest that you compare with the pictures, taken by John Kashuba, 
on my website:  _http://www.impactika.com/TSlist.htm_ 
(http://www.impactika.com/TSlist.htm)  (click on any Ref# highlighted in 
yellow).
And see for yourself if you can recognize chondrules of various types, and 
other crystals.

You could also read the "Micro-visions" articles in Meteorite-Times and the 
Centerpiece in Meteorite Magazine. And if you want to know how a microprobe 
functions, and what information you get out of it, then read the article I 
wrote for the IMCA news 
letter:http://imca.cc/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=185  

I hope this helps.
