Post-Printing

Bending of the hanger

            <div><p>Use hot water (80u00b0C) to bend one of the ends of the hanger, to dodge the lock on the microscope stage.</p></div>                <p class="detail-title"><strong>Immobilizing the hanger</strong></p>            <div><p>The plastic is too thin, and sensitive to vibrations.rnrnPut something heavier over the ends of the hanger to stabilize it (the original metal stage adapters parts, for example, the one used for 384 well plates).</p></div>
