Hi List, My first love in meteorite micrographs is high magnification
incident light (reflected) images of thick samples. My first article in
Meteorite Magazine was this technique. For the last couple years I have only
worked on cross polarized transmitted light images of thin sections. One of
the reasons is camera/adapter for my Neophot issues. I was given the use of
a lathe and I turned down a suitable part to address this.

I wanted to share a shot of a SaU 001 chondrule up close. If you would
like to take a look please email me and let me know if you want the reduced
embedded file or the full size 12mp as an attachment. (Many Internet hosts
will reject that large of a file).

I think the chondrule looks like a planet.

Thanks, Tom Phillips
