Thanks to everybody who replied on or off-list to my request, your input has
been much appreciated and I'm much closer to finding a solution.

Hi Matt,
Have you looked at membranebox.com? These are great for large slabs but
can become a little expensive if you buy many.
This is not an AD but it is regarding a product aimed at small slices
and chips I'm trying to introduce to my website, I have an animation of
a 1x2" slice box here,
http://4-kats.homeip.net/auctionpics/MBoxes/SliceBox.mp4
This allows you to see all sides of the slice without having to remove
it from the box. I can send you a sample if you want to test it out and
give me some feedback. I AM NOT SELLING these at this time, but am still
seeking feedback. So if you are willing to give me feedback, I'd be glad
to send one of these out for your evaluation. If your slice is thicker
than 1mm please let me know and I can adjust the gap between cap and
bottom.
If you are interested in round holders I can provide 40mm round cases
that are about 6mm thick, these cases also have siloxane coatings on the
top and bottom to hold your section securely and allow views of all
surface without removing slice from case. These will only accommodate
slices up to 3mm thick. THESE ARE ALSO NOT FOR SALE! I am only offering
to share them with you to get feedback and maybe offer them in the
future. If you have micro pieces, I can provide smaller round cases that
will accommodate 1mm thick chips and slices that don't exceed 20mm in
any dimension.
Please contact me if you are interested in getting samples, I generally
mail tem out once a week and just ask for feedback in return.

Hi Gang,
Look on eBay for microscope slide cases. There are tons of them of
various designs and sizes. Some are the nice "vintage" wooden ones
and some are modern plastic. Prices vary with the selection. I've
seen some large ones that hold hundreds of slides. With such a
container, even the largest collection could fit into a single
container.
Best regards,
MikeG

David New had a great box. Held 25 thin sections and made of wood but
his supplier dried up. I managed to acquire three cardboard type over
the years from Russ Kempton but he is out of that type. He may have a
lead on new boxes.
I recently acquired a thin section which is longer than the others in
my collection it came in a snap together plastic holder.
Ward's can be pricey and difficult to deal with, if you only want to
place a small order.
