So How Smooth Is Glass?
I may be blaming my tools here, but I'm running into a persistent problem with my clever idea of using glass cover slips: They seem to be uneven. Or the cheap batch I have are anyway. This might not normally matter, but when you're controlling the probe height to a micron or two it can be a pain in the butt!
I'll have to switch back to slides. Which means I'll have to cut some down because a whole slide won't fit on the new stage. Or make a new stage, I suppose. I'll have to fork out for more slides eventually as I have like one spare and all the others have really interesting specimens on...
