Not to many people have a sample of this one. Somehow Jeff Hodges managed a high quality thin section. After his loan, it was very hard to send back. One of the most photogenic meteorites I have ever examined. These micrographs were taken in cross polarized transmitted light at a magnification of 400X.

These are the first images I have taken after a complete tear down of my aus Jena Fluoval and a changing of the condenser, polarizer, and stage. The condenser, an aplanatic pancratic (apochromat zoom) has an additional field diaphragm that my previous condenser did not have. As I am always using excess light, I can really make use of that diaphragm.
