Stardust Curation at Johnson Space Center: Photo Documentation and Sample Processing of Submicron Dust Samples from Comet Wild 2 for Meteoritics Science Community

(shorter carrot on left, 7mm-long) Track#100 (longer carrot on right, 8mm-long). Both tracks contain significant terminal particles and sub-grains in the blue circles (~10um in size.) Blue-line boxed area is magnified on the right. Fig. 1b (right): compound microscope image of boxed area of Fig.1a under reflected light condition. Both tracks shows spiral features (arrowed) indicating that the dust part icle produced track#100 (right) was spinning counter clockwise and the one for track#99 (left) spinning clockwise toward the sample collector.
