By doing something that actually makes sense.
We're working on the plans for remodeling one of the microscope instrument rooms at work. The architect dropped off a set of carpet samples yesterday, which I sent to the prof who is buying the new microscope, so that he could pick a carpet color.
He and one of the microscope techs took the sample book down to the lab (so that they'd have the correct lighting) and put one of each kind of sample holder (TEM samples get mounted on 3mm copper or carbon fiber disks) on each carpet sample and then picked the one that they showed up best on.
