Labtek Dishes problem

Colleagues
We have been using Labtek (made by Nunc) Chambered
Coverglass dishes (8 chambers) for several years (#136439). [see a
picture on
http://www.cyto.purdue.edu/flowcyt/confocal/cfcl7.htm

We found out recently that they have redesigned all their plates, by
making small (but significant physical size changes)  They also
changed the glass bases  - bottom line is the new dishes don't fit
any of our specially designed heatsinks, holders, etc. They also
stuck a "handle" on top of the clear plastic lis, so now you cant
image through the dishes. Real smart people must have just taken
over at Labtek!!!!

So, if anyone has some of the old dishes (sterile packs of course) in
stock, we love to hear from you, we will be happy to exchange equal
value, give up a graduate student or two, or a few bottles of nice
plonk.....whatever it takes.

If anyone out there has any influence with Nunc, I think they pretty
much destroyed a really successful product....!!!

HELP please....
thanks
Paul Robinson
