Thank you Sue,
I have their website available and their price is not bad. I hope the contrast/staining is OK.
We are looking for minigrids also but they cost more than $25 each there, maybe ISSCO is worth a try..........

I made my own mini grid slides that work quite well.
Photocopy good quality grid paper on an overhead cut to size and tape to a microscope slide.

Thanks Rhonda,
we have been doing this as well for many years. I think for the lower years (7-10) it may be all they need but the teachers are now asking for the mounted minigrids for the seniors as they should probably be having practise with these for Uni Biology work.
We really should also look into having eyepiece micrometers as well which are then calibrated for each objective using the minigrids. There are 2 problems with this -
A. the eyepiece micrometers might not fit our eyepieces and
B. they cost approx. $75 each.
thanks for your suggestions,
