All good tips!

I wrapped a diffuse cover for the slit lamp in a circle around bowl, reduced 
reflections as much as possible

Worked pretty good without the set up here that Colin recommends.  No time for 
that

Thank you Colin, and everyone else. Nice to hear from you Colin!

Denice,
Lighting shiny objects is a real pain! At least with digital cameras these days 
you don't have to wait until you process the film to discover the badly placed 
reflection/bad exposure!
I am assuming your subject is not very large. Try making a lighting tent with 
some white diffusing material. You never totally eliminate reflections although 
a circular polarising filter may help.
It's a long time since I did much studio photography but a tent was quite a 
handy device.
You can buy them ready made or just make it yourself.
The one in the picture is called Lastolite Cubelite Kit.
