Same here. I use Carolina's mixed pollen grain slide all the time. It's great
for training, especially for z-stacks, and I always choose the spiky ones to
image. The slides are less than $5.00 each.  (No connection to Carolina.)

I also keep one of the pollen grain slides in the confocal room. When a user
says that there's something wrong with the scope, I ask them if they've checked
will the pollen slide. Since they inevitably haven't, I tell them to do that
first, and then come back if there's a problem with the microscope. Amazingly,
they rarely return.
