I read on the f295 forums that EMS pinholes are only $22 for 100. I checked the Electron Microscopy Sciences website and the only pinholes I could find there were more than $100! Anybody know where I can find these cheap pinholes?

Look at this page to find " Single Slot Grids (Aperture Grids)." They are still around $26 per hundred for copper. I've used these for several years and they are GREAT. Cheap enough that you can order 100 for yourself.

They're not hard to make. If you dimple a pie tin with a ballpoint pen and slowly sand the dimple away you can get a very nice pinhole.
