Warning
Insufficient frame conditions for sectioning.
Specimen damage or poor sectioning results, for example, sections alternating in thickness,
compressed, folded or stripped sections.
• Do not continue sectioning if you recognize insufficient sections results.
• Make sure that all prerequisites for appropriate sectioning are met. Refer to the troubleshooting
section of these Instructions for Use for further details.
• If you do not have sufficient knowledge in regards of troubleshooting insufficient sectioning
results consult persons who do have that knowledge, for example, application experts of Leica
Biosystems.
