We've lost a couple of lenses to users who can't understand why it will
focus with a dry lens but not with an oil immersion lens, and will rack it
back and forth and back and forth (and back and forth) over the edges of
the coverslip before they realize thay have two (or three) coverslips on
their slide. I now have a large print of a picture of a scratched lens
hanging over the confocal, along with the price of replacement.

Aloha,
Tina
