experiments for today

I’ve made a number of prints today, basically experimenting with different spacings between the drops. All images were 16×16 pixels, with the following parameters:

  • spacing: 5, drop: 0.005, suckback: 0.002
  • spacing: 7.5, drop: 0.005, suckback: 0.002
  • spacing: 5, drop: 0.01, suckback: 0.005
  • spacing: 5, drop: 0.015, suckback: 0.01
  • spacing: 6, drop: 0.015, suckback: 0.01
  • spacing: 7, drop: 0.015, suckback: 0.01
  • spacing: 7, drop: 0.02, suckback: 0.01
  • spacing: 7, drop: 0.02, suckback: 0.015

we’ll see tomorrow how they turn out. Unfortunately leveling is really an issue, especially with small drops: the syringe touches the surface of the agar on some parts of the plate, but not on the others. So drops are not placed everywhere where they should, and in some places, accumulated drops are made.
