I love using those little Riker boxes for displaying slices and small
individuals. But I would be worried about a TS sliding out and hitting
something <crash> and breaking when I took the lid off. Maybe it's just me,
but I have problems sometimes with snug fitting lids not wanting to play
nice when I take them off - resulting in a mini wrestling match. I have
lost my grip on a box once or twice, and had one specimen get away from me
(thankfully, no damage resulted.)

Subject: [meteorite-list] TS storage
Hi Leigh Anne,
As someone who is always itching to look at my specimens, I like keeping
my thin sections in the little standard(~4 1/4 x 3 inch) Riker boxes. One
can fit 3 standard slides parallel to the short side and another two
parallel to the long side. They display nicely against the white cotton
and you can see five all at once.
I'm pretty paranoid about moisture given the high surface to weight ratio
and keep the Riker mounts stored with dessicant in an airtight container
when I'm not using them. I wonder what the list members' experience has
been with both covered and uncovered thin sections?
Cheers,
Jim Baxter
I was wondering if anyone could tell me the typical way that thin
sections are collected. I know that they are on microscope slides, but
do people typically keep those slides in an old microscope slide box, or
drawer of some sort? Is there a protective type case that is typical of
thin section collectors? My boyfriend is a custom woodworker, and it
trying to figure out a way to build a storage case for these. Thanks in
advance,
Leigh Anne DelRay
