Daily Instrument Setup

9. Close the hood.
10. The mounting medium bottles that are reinserted are detected by the instrument software and
the Module Status ( → Fig. 53) is updated.
Note
The CMS detects that a new mounting medium bottle has been inserted, and informs the user that
an Extended Prime is required for the coverslip line L2 ( → P. 122 – 7.3.2 Extended Prime) . By this
means, air and any old mounting medium that is possibly still present is ousted from the hose system.
Only afterwards is the instrument ready to start.
6.3.2 Monitoring and refilling of the needle cleaning container
Note
The HistoCore SPECTRA CV has an automatic fill level scan mechanism in the needle cleaning
container. A warning message informs the user if there is not a sufficient quantity of xylene left in
the glass vessel. Despite the automated fill level scan, Leica recommends also carrying out a visual
inspection during daily startup to ensure that no refilling is necessary during daily routine work.
