Warning!
Ensure that no part of the mounted coverslip protrudes from the edges
of the slide.
Use slides with completely dried embedding medium only. Otherwise,
the coverslip can be shifted that makes slide loading less reliable. Not
completely dried embedding might also influence the operation of
objectives and other device parts.
