[Nhcoll-l] Micro color chips

I was recently on the hunt for a color patch that we could use for taking images of specimens in alcohol and kept all the links of those that I found (never did find one that would work in alcohol :()

Not sure if any of these will help.  The last one is a nano-target that may be of use...

Subject: [Nhcoll-l] Micro color chips

Folks,

I am taking photographs at high magnifications (4-5x macro; field size roughly 6x4 mm) and would like to insert a calibrated grey chip for accurate color reproduction. Commercially available chips I have seen are all printed on paper or plastic, and at those magnifications the ink surface is so rough that one cannot accurately sample the color from it any more. Does anyone know of a color chip specifically designed for macro/micro work?
