You can use a programmed stepping motor driven plate holder, and close your eyes while it is moving. We sometimes did this before we purchased a commercial imager. This also increases eye blinking frequency, sometimes useful if you are otherwise too curious to find crystals quickly...

I find that checking the wells in columns rather than rows seems to mitigate most of the feeling of motion sickness. For some reason the scrolling side-to-side is more unpleasant than up-down scrolling. Jon.
