Warning!
Always wear personal protective equipment (safety goggles, gloves and

Warning!
Do not use a slide when it is broken or its edges are not properly cut or
grounded. Using such slides can lead to injury.
Warning!
Ensure that no part of the mounted coverslip protrudes from the edges
of the slide. Use slides only with completely dried embedding medium.
If not so, 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.
Caution!

scratch any circular marker onto the glass surface of a slide,
use a soft tip pen instead for marking area of interest.
