Hello,
        Just a slight aside, we ran into problems with vibrations and
drifting out of focus. This problem originated from the wall mounted
air-conditioning system that we have here. The problem wass sorted by
directing the air flow upwards and working with the incubator hood over our
inverted microscope.
 
        Peter.
