3.1 Preparing Slides and Magazines
This section demonstrates how to prepare slides and magazines. You can use slides and coverslips
that meet the following specifications:
Slides
Cover slips
Length
75.0 to 76.2 mm
max. 50 mm
Width
25.0 to 26.0 mm
max. 24 mm (recommended: 22 mm)
Thickness
0.95 to 1.05 mm
No. 1 and No. 1.5 (0.13 to 0.16 mm and 0.16 to 0.19 mm)
Corners
45° beveled corners
Edges
Grounded or cut
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!
Ensure that no part of the mounted coverslip protrudes from the edges
of the slide.
Use slides only with completely dried embedding medium. If not so,
the coverslip can be shifted that makes slide loading less reliable. Not
completely dried embedding might also influence the operation of
objectives and other device parts.
Note:
The distance between slide edges and the edges of the mounted
coverslip should be 1-2 mm, and they should be parallel with each
other.
