Does anyone know of a commercial (or other) source for a microscope slide with various diffraction grating patterns?  I want to use this for teaching purposes (demonstrate diffraction in the back focal plane), and ideally the slide would have multiple patterns (spacings from about 0.5 um to 5 um, various orientations, squares, etc..).  Basically, I am looking for a slide as was used in the Abbe diffraction kit.  All pointers will be appreciated!

Thanks for your help,

Nico

Does anyone know of a USA supplier for a similar diffraction grating slide?

EM grids will work, especially line grids. Maintaining alignment while mounting on a slide is a challenge.

We have used those toy glasses that create spectra when you look through
them.  In fact, they are grating replicas, --different patterns give, of
course, different results.  We've also used hemocytometers and stage
micrometer slides.  One more interesting source are the special gratings
used in "Chroma Depth" 3D system.  These last are gratings that shift the
spectrum either to the left or the right, depending on the eye.  As a
result, reds are moved forward, and blues to the rear.  This is great for
landscapes.  The bfp images from these gratings show spots on one side or
the other of the primary.

One more thought.  A standard EM standardization is a grating replica
mounted on an em grid.  You might see if someone like Pella can sell you
either fragments for you to mount, or even a larger sheet.

This might works for you - http://www.rainbowsymphonystore.com/scienanded1.html. They have different lines per inch, but many of them require a minimum order.
