Dear all, This is one of the many times that I clean up the mess for the Spinning Disc. The bench is full of spreading coverslips (4 or 5), plus the empty wipe box, used lens cleaning paper. Besides, would you please get more slides and coverslips to this room when they are almost finished or already finished, which is the case for today. By the way, I put a bottle of methanol by at the sides of the computer that is used for cleaning the object lens, but I notices several times the lens was full of immersion medium, really! you don't care about the maintenance of the lens. You know, your labmates' experiments are as important as yours.
