Hi,<br>
<br>
This is my first build. How do folks mount the sample syringe itself?<br>
<br>
My syringe isn't tight. It rocks and slips.<br>
<br>
Here's a pic of my hybrid Picard Industries stages<br>

<br>
That's a standard Picard twister set up to spin the syringe.<br>
<br>
How do you lock down the syringe?<br>
<br>
They use foam<br>

the calibration mirror in the OpenSpim manual.<br>
<br>
Is that what folks do? Foam?<br>
<br>
Specific syringes?<br>
<br>
Any help?<br>
<br>
