In Situ photos

3D surface views

Part of the reason I look at the 3D surface view is to see how level I got the scale under the microscope. Scale impressions are not completely flat but I try to keep the tilt to a minimum for the photos. However for this one I made no attempt to position it as the rock split in half just from rinsing it with water. Fortunately none of the scale appears to be lost.
