Thanks everyone who gave me such positive feedback on my thin section images. I've since spent a number of hours fixing some problems and refining my technique to the point where I am spending much more time looking at my specimens and exploring them to find interesting features than I am actually making and processing the image. I also did some basic calibrations of my field of views and found that in one setup I'm using I'm getting about 0.25 micron resolution.

For those of you interested, I've rearranged my album on Facebook a little and added a number of additional images of Juancheng another Allende and another Pena Blanca Springs.

If you are interested, the album is at the same location I sent previously, http://tinyurl.com/27uj6tk

Cheers
