Warning!
Always wear personal protective equipment (safety goggles, gloves and
coat) when working with bio-hazardous material or slides.
Warning!
Do not use a slide when it is broken or its edges are not properly cut or
grounded. Using such slides can lead to injury.
Warning!
If the scanner is equipped with a 40× objective, the outer rim of the
sample should be at least 3mm distance from the slide edge on the left
side, since the working distance of the 40× objective is 0.25mm,
therefore, the objective edge may collide with the stage edge during
digitization.
