Best, Jo From: The Natural Science Collections Association discussion list [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ashby, Jack Sent: 10 January 2013 11:46 To: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Subject: Microscope slides on display Dear all I hope you are well. Ahead of an exciting development at the Grant Museum, I'm conducting a little research into the display of microscope slides in museums. I'd be grateful if you could answer a few very brief questions for me... 1) Do you hold microscope slides in your collection? Yes 2) If yes, how many? Several hundred (unfortunately have never had time to count accurately) 3) Do you have microscope slides on public display in your museum in any way? No 4) If yes, please give a line of description of the display, including an indication of the number of slides displayed. A photo would be appreciated if possible (not for publication). 5) Do you know of any museums outside the UK which display slides? Any details would be appreciated. If you don't display slides, there's no need to read on. 6) Are your slides only displayed as part of an interactive? (for example, a microscope for visitor to see a range of slides; are the slides only displayed digitally?): 7) Do the slides on display include: a. Histology (tissues or limited body parts)? b. Whole animals? c. Embryology? d. Microfossils? e. Botany? f. Fossil thin sections? g. Human material? h. Hair? i. Other? Please describe. Responses by 22nd Jan would be fantastic. Many thanks for your time.
