I still remember having had a sample of a 96 well plate with small conical
wvells that had a flat bottom suitable for microscopy, I think the diameter
fitted the field of view of a 25x objective. Unfortunatelly I have no info on
the manufacturer, but would be glad if someone else could tell me.

Thanks a lot

Gerhard

Geoff,
You might want to try using Terasaki plates instead of 96well plates, the
wells are easier to scan for the presence of single cells.  Also it might
be worth giving the 96well plates (as well as the Terasaki plates) a brief
spin after the cell deposition, to make sure all cells are actually at the
bottom of the well.
I have very good experience with the single deposition on the Vantage (>96%).
