   I have no idea what a splash plate is, but most of the fill tubes are about   
   an inch long in each cell and they're slotted to make a meniscus for you.   
      
   Here's an explanation of that meniscus but I wish it had a photo of it.

   Anyone here have a good photo of the slotted meniscus eye shape for him?
