well, weird, I used a "copy image as" option from another site, and used the image tag, because i can't post pics until i post so many times i guess. I apologize. I'll edit the thread i guess. or could a moderator just delete it, coz i dunno about going around getting fifty posts just to post an i mage of my lab work. we have a pretty professional lab, and some very nicely "digitally" stained petri images of all sorts of neat stuff. anyhow, i understand that most new users may not have any experience, but it makes it hard on those of us whom do, but i'll post around another day, for now im tired. peace n love from the lazy american: limeade
