<p>I am pretty agnostic about the numbering (except that I like the numbers molded into the Teflon) but Ruben's other suggestions are great.<br>

<div dir="ltr">I really like the grid boxes with an X slot, so that I can put the grid on whichever orientation is more convenient for my hand. If anything, it would be nice to have them a little wider to accommodate autogrids. I prefer the numbering to be
counter-clockwise, and the main reason for this is that when you have loosened the lid to insert the grids, moving it in the counter-clockwise direction does not tighten the screw, but rotating in a clockwise direction does (it is super annoying to have a
tight lid when you have a grid that needs to go into a slot). As for colors, I think white is nice, with a Philips/straight screw that is not super small, which can be opened with the posterior edge of some tweezers, cardboard, etc (as screwdrivers tend to
walk away when most needed).

<div dir="ltr">Hello Everyone,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We plan on offering CryoEM grid boxes in the coming months, both the "traditional" design for unclipped grids with the diamond shaped pockets, as well as the "newer" box style for autogrids. We are finalizing designs and would like to incorporate any
features that would be beneficial. There are a variety of opinions on the numbering convention for the grid boxes. The "traditional" numbering convention seems to be clockwise, whereas newer autogrid boxes have the "reading" convention, though we've heard
many people disregard that and refer to the positions in the traditional clockwise sense. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We would love to hear feedback from the community in an effort to reach a consensus and perhaps a standard on how to number the grid boxes. For anyone that responds to <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdrdWhws85V-ld03o_4DhgtdRjyHKAm8XMggNO7xYJOAWMUwQ/viewform?usp=sf_link__;!!Mih3wA!Sc3pzHYpeLzdf01i3xWLUeiv4F000Go5-CW5_BG2A3FEqxi3oNEErCNeAvWUFL236Q$" target="_blank">this
survey</a>, we will give a 20% discount on their first purchase of grid boxes once we begin selling them. We will also share the results with everyone here once we have them.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you and we hope that everyone is staying well,</div>
