[NHCOLL-L:5105] Re: Glass boxes for display of C&S specimens

Hi Andy
 
John Simmons and I worked on a project for the Museum of Science and  
Industry in which we used newly designed borosilicate containers for  
fluid-preserved specimens. For information on the design and fabricator, contact  
Margaret Schlesinger at MSI.

Hi  all 
We  are looking at developing a display of C&S specimens here at the museum 
 using clear rectangular or square boxes for display to be back lit with 
LED  light.  I am wondering if anyone has experience with purchasing or  
building such boxes for display of such materials?  All glass or plastic  boxes 
we have come across for sale have logo’s or other blemishes that are not  
ideal for display. 
Thanks 
Andy
