I've been interested in meteorites for many years now, though my active collecting ended some time ago. Still, from time to time, I do add a piece. One aspect of collecting that once caught my attention was that of thin slides. At first I simply kept them in a drawer, but then I hit on a way to keep them on permanent display. Anyone out there who has a slide collection might like to do this same. All you need is a light box and two polarizing filters such as those used in photography. Two 105mm filters just cover a light box and comfortably holds 4 slides. It's amazing the amount of detail that can be seen without any magnification at all when the light box is turned on. Add a 12X magnifier (I bought mine from Edmund Scientific), and the detail explodes. The photo below is not as sharp as I had hoped it would be. The four thin sections are of the Richfield LL3, Moorabie L3, Wells LL3, and Allende CV3 meteorites.
