Uh--No--er-- I meant to say "FLOURITE" -- a compound made of wheat flour and colgate toothpaste. Leitz used in in the 1950's and 60's as a coating emulsion to evade the Zeiss coating patents. PJW and I are using it in the development of our first auxiliary objective for the M Minimum Mumbo -- The Mumbo-Jumbo, which is a multi-coated, Apochromatic meniscus. 1000mmf0.95. I have typed the word f-l-u-o-r-i-t-e 1000 times now, Jack, but I may spell it wrong in the future just to annoy you. In reality, I am far too overconfident in my "mastery" of this language we share, to ever use a spell-checker. Beat me, flog me, kill me dead!!!! Thomas P. Myro Photology@juno.com
