I had some free time tonight so I cut a few pieces of some plastic polarizing filter I had and used them on our biological microscope. I had picked up a few low priced thin sections at this past year's Tucson shows. For a first ever attempt at photographing thin sections in cross polarized light, I think I've done an ok. job.
I've uploaded my first 5 to an album on Facebook. Below is a link that should be accessible even if you don't have a FB account. http://tinyurl.com/27uj6tk I haven't yet calibrated my field of view yet, so at the moment I can't offer the scale of the features in the images. Sorry. I'd appreciate any tips or advice the experts are willing offer to help make future images better.
