Dear FFers:
For the last few weeks, I've been researching suppliers of micropaleo slide sets. I haven't had to buy them since 2003 (!!), and I'm a little shocked to find how much the prices have soared.
In any case, the most economical place I've found in the states (at least so far) is Lakeside (http://www.lakeside-products.com/html/paleontologic.html), which sells in lots of 100.
I certainly don't need 100, so I was wondering if anyone would like to split an order with me.
What I need are the 18-60s shown on the link (2mm thick with a ruled, numbered rectangular field). I could go for the 3mm-thick ones, if that makes a difference to anyone.
It would come to about $60 (which would include shipping w/in the US) for 50 cardboard slides & 50 aluminum holders.
You're on your own for the glass slides, but there are lots of options on eBay for as low as around $9/gross.
All best,
Wendell
