The BYU-Idaho Geology Department recently acquired a new digital camera and software for creating digital images of what you see through the lenses of a microscope. These are called "photomicrographs". These first few were slides of thin-sections of rock we use in our crystallography lab. I haven't got all the details worked out for mounting the camera and getting the optimal lighting conditions, but BYU-Idaho now has the capability to produce these things. And I'm the one who gets to figure out the details. It's exciting!
