Note
• The function is valid only for racks inserted into the instrument after the Save button was pressed.
• The overall processing is extended by the duration of the oven step (approx. 5 min.).
The respective status of the oven is displayed in the status bar (

5.8.6 Volume calibration
Required access level: Supervisor
The application quantity of the mounting medium on the slide can be adapted to
changes in ambient conditions by the Supervisor using the Volume Calibration menu.
The properties of the mounting medium that is used can be changed depending on the ambient
conditions. For example, the viscosity changes due to temperature differences. If the mounting medium
is stored at a cool temperature and deployed in a cool state in the instrument for use, the viscosity is
"tougher" (i.e. more viscous) than with a mounting medium which has already adapted to the ambient
temperature. The viscosity has a direct influence on the application quantity of the mounting medium on
the slide.
If the application quantity differs during coverslipping so significantly that the user fears a loss of quality,
the application quantity can be adjusted separately for both coverslip lines by means of the Volume
Calibration menu. The application quantity configured in the parameter sets can remain unchanged.
Note
To adjust the application quantity, the password-protected Supervisor Mode is necessary. Furthermore,
the adjustment is only possible if no processing is running and there are no longer any racks in the
instrument.
Adjusting the application quantity by the Supervisor
1. Call up the Settings menu (
→
Fig. 29- 1 ) and press Volume calibration .
2. You can adjust the application quantity by turning the corresponding roller ( → Fig. 38- 2 ) for
coverslip line L1 or L2 ( → Fig. 38- 1 ) .
Note
Negative values (-1 through -5) reduce the application quantity for the selected coverslip line
incrementally, while positive values (1 through 5) increase the application quantity incrementally.
