Back to Christmas Cards

This year

we celebrate the

holidays from the library

of our microscopist-collector.

A seasonal wreath and

tree adorn the scene and allow

us to enjoy the holidays as we work.

An extended substage assembly

required a special modification on the

large Watson petrographic microscope which was

used to teach British petrography students in earlier times.

In the foreground Michel Levy’s and

Forqué’s atlas and Teall’s British Petrography

present colorful chromolithographs of classic thin sections.

Nearby slides containing thin sections of rocks and minerals include a

sample from Egypt’s great pyramid – only a stone’s throw from the Holy Land.

 Season's Greetings
