Dear Jacob, I second the CompactClover plates suggested, either in 96-well (1 drop per well) or 24-well with four drops per well format. Easy to set up by hand, nice viewing characteristics, clear flat bottom of the drop. I think the polarisation is also ok, although I personally tend to take the polariser off the microscope to get more light - I don't feel polarisation adds much useful information anyway. I don't find 96 wells is a lot of work before sealing and tend to use the broad sealing tape, but you can also buy the less broad sealing tape and seal the first half of the plate before continuing with the rest. In Europe the CompactClover plates are also sold by Jena if I am not wrong, in Spain also by Diffractia - and in the USA (and rest of the world) by Emerald.
