> Make your own set-up from Tupperware (let's have a party) or other
> plasticware, cake pans, bed pans, small coffins and whatever. Use

> slides. 
> We are currently using the Tupperware chambers. I had bought a 2' x 4'
> drop ceiling light panel (the grid style that covers the fluorescent
> light) and cut it up to fit in the tupperware. This works rather well in
> that one can use any sized slide and the grid provides uniform support
> while keeping the slides elevated about 0.5 inches off the bottom.

> But occasionally with overnight incubations the antibodies migrate to one

> something else to try that was a little more stable.
