Description

For the four other people on the planet who manually lap petrographic thin sections. This holder is sized for 27mm x 46mm x 1.27mm petrographic slides.

Little indentations for fingers prevent knuckle rolling and subsequent abusive epithets...

Instructions

Print, use and enjoy less wrist and knuckle trauma!

Updated SCAD and stls - now have a holder with just a single indent in the center, one with indents on opposite corners and the standard, two indent holder. Also found that thinner holder facilitates manipulation of slide - can apply pressure where needed.

Great idea.
(But it takes all the fun out of polishing away your finger tips... )

Yes, I have a good friend engaged in creating 'stained glass' from thin sections sandwiched between polarizing film. Can't wait to see the results...
