I the event of loosing a spore from the camera’s field of view look down the microscope to find it. The X15 wide angle eyepieces allow a greater field of view. If however you cannot reach the errant spore then there are ways to retrieve it without shifting the needle setup. If you pull down on the Control Joystick (left hand) and move the joystick you will find that it will nudge much like it did in the inoculum. Simply nudge the lost spore to the centre of the field and drag it back or pick it up. To return to 6mm centres you only need to move to the next row and return and the MSM will revert to the Matrix proper .
