Re: [OM] 2x2 glass slides

[Chuck Norcutt]

The "slightly larger" than 2x2 is potentially a problem depending on the 
definition of "slightly".  I just measured the slide holder with my 
caliper. It only has 0.025" clearance over 2" so could be a fit problem. 
 On the other hand, the entire slide holder/film gate fixture slides up 
and off its vertical support.  You could then just tape a slide on the 
end of the support if necessary.
