Polaroid Instant

Some years ago I made stereo pairs using a single SLR and Polaroid 
instant color slide.  I used the Polaroid because I was experimenting, 
and could not afford to wait for slow development.  I was making 
stereograms of fluorescent minerals under UV illumination.
It worked, although I ended up with exposure times of up to 20 minutes.  
Then I found that Polaroid color slides (which have a silvery appearance) 
depolarize light passing through them.  Thius means that my results can 
be viewed in a regular, hand-held viwer, but cannot be projected using 
polarizing filters.
I suppose I could copy the slides onto regular diapositive film.
Just thought that I'd warn you.
