Can you see what you're doing when you use multi-well plates?
Its hard to see the wells clearly sometimes. The trick is to place bold colours such as black under your plate to help you see clearly.
- You can put it on a dark surface.
- You can put some black-taped cardboard underneath the plate.
- Or you can label the lid, then put the lid underneath the plate (where it stacks under nicely) and you can see your wells as well as the labels behind them.
What if you are working on ice though?
Try to make your ice box black, or some other dark colour.
- Try sticking black tape on the container underneath the ice.
- Scribble over the styrofoam with a marker.
- Dye the ice with a different colour such as food colouring.
