<li>Collect the 10 uL droplet with the carbon-coated side of the grid and immediately remove with filter paper.</li>
<li>Collect the 20 uL droplet with the carbon-coated side of the grid and allow to sit for 20 seconds to absorb the staining solution.</li>
<li>Remove the 20 uL droplet with the filter paper.</li>
