[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 J.Paul Robinson, PhD PH:(765)4940757 Professor of Immunopharmacology Professor of Biomedical Engineering Purdue University FAX:(765)4940517 EMAIL:jpr@flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu WEB: http://www.cyto.purdue.edu
