Not sure if this is helpful or not, but it may at least be interesting:

ASPEX, a maker of scanning electron microscopes, is offering a free scan with one of their desktop SEM systems of any sample you send them. You just have to mail it to the USA and be OK with your sample not being returned.

Private message me if you have any questions.

I was taught how to use a microscope and prepare slides by a certain Mr. Jordan himself! Brilliant day

Thanks 'Stephaniepl' The site looks interesting, I may send them a sample or 2 just to get an idea of what you get back, I sure would like to be able to afford one of those....
Maybe our friends on WAB might be able to provide us with a similar service...???
