Hi All,

I may have missed it, but it seems to me that one should not omit the 
operator of the fsu website, Michael Davidson, from this discussion.  
His site provides both historical and practical information at all 
levels.  I would think that he might be very helpful if such a 
project were to get off the ground.

I would also suggest that such a project be coordinated through a 
microscopy organization (MSA), and that sources of funding be 
explored:  NSF (through science education)?, Microscope companies? 
etc.
