Positioning a Slide
Raise the objectives using the microscope controller.
Displace the stage to the left manually or using the
stage X-Y manual control. For extra room, rotate the
objectives manually so that the 10x is over the stage. Be
sure that the clips are positioned at the edges of the
slide recess. If the clips are hard to move, use the hi-
tech tool provided.
Place the slide in the slide recess. Usually, placing the
right side first is the most effective method.
Place the clips over the slide, using the tool if necessary.
Manually reposition the stage under the objectives.
Note: dishes can also be accommodated, subject to the
limitations of objective size and working distance. Ask us
for details.
