Charity,
You need to come check out the magnifier slides we have at the ISM, they've 
always stood the wrath of the local kiddies but I don't know the brand off 
the top of my pointed head.  You can still reach me at my IUPUI address or 
just drop in on the weekend.

We are trying to find magnifiers that would slide in front of 2-d maps
in artifact cases in order to view them more easily. We need them to be
durable, movable, child-friendly and artifact-friendly.



We have found a brand called "Magnislides," but wondered if there other,
more cost-effective solutions out there? Any recommendations? Have you
seen anything like this used in another exhibit or museum?
