Folks--I've got crystals that I tried mounting in capillary tubes (I've
never done this before, by the way). I had the capillary attached to a
syringe. I sucked up a couple of washed crystals in a few ul of solution
and tried to dislodge them from the solution (leaving them on the side
of the capillary) by moving the plunger back and forth. I did this
repeatedly for about three hours without success. There must be a
better way! Thanks, luz
