PS: I think a research discount for Tissint like what Darryl proposed
is a welcome gesture. Some research groups want to have their own
permanent specimens, substantial in quantity, and archival. In such
cases it makes sense to purchase. When we loan material it is exactly
that, on loan, and so must be returned with in 6 months to a year.
Also, if you are performing destructive analyses of substantial
quantities it's probably not good form to rely on loaned material, but
to purchase your own as part of the research overhead.

Thanks,

Carl
