4.1.5 Setting Samples
<Caution when setting samples>
If the sample which is taken from cold environment, such as refrigerator,
is set into CQ1 at once, condensation occurs on the bottom of sample
vessel and autofocus may not operate normally.
Also, temperature of sample vessel changes rapidly after it is set into
CQ1, strain of sample vessel occurs and autofocus may not operate
normally.
In case of unusing Stage Heater, set sample into CQ1 after acclimating
to room temperature. In case of the sample taken from refrigerator,
acclimating time is about 30 minutes. In case that condensation occurs
on the bottom of sample vessel, please wipe it away.
In case of using Stage Heater, set sample into CQ1 as soon as
possible after taken it from incubator.
