Budd Wentz has recently been showing how to make simple laminated  
"slides" for the Wentzscope using a small business card laminating  
machine available at office supply stores  like Staples.

He creates a business card-sized paper insert with a hole punched  
through it, then places an object (like sand, fly wing, etc. etc.)  
into the circle on the laminating pouch/paper sandwich and runs it  
through the machine.  You could print out whatever you like on the  
paper insert (Museum logo, information about object, etc.)

It's fast and easy.  It's also the kind of thing that could be  
adapted to workshop programs at museums with microscopes.

If you're going to the ASTC conference in Louisville, Budd will  
probably be demonstrating the process at his booth.
