Hi,

This isn't a flow question but thought someone might be able to help us.

We are looking for a source of 35 mm Petri plates that have a 1 cm (approx.) hole bored through the bottom and a #1 coverglass glued over/under the hole.  We want to use these with viable cells in culture, an inverted fluorescence scope, and the 100x oil objective (we don't have access to an upright fluorescence scope with water objectives).  I know about the availability of coverglass-bottomed Lab-Tek chambers, but the investigator wants to perfuse the culture and I don't think the Lab-Tek chambers will work as well as a Petri plate for this purpose.  I know you can make these by simply boring the hole and gluing a coverglass in place but we would like to know of a commercial source for these if possible.

Thanks for any leads.

Ray
