Affixing barcode stickers to slides
This chapter describes how to affix barcode stickers to large slides. Barcodes enable virtual
slide identification.
Figure 7: Slide with a barcode sticker
The label area (

) is recorded by the preview camera and can be displayed by the
Pannoramic® Scanner Software for Research control software and viewer software.
To affix barcode stickers to slides, do the following:
1.
Peel off the barcode sticker
(2)
from the roll.
2.
Stick it on the colored label area
(1)
of the slide, on the specimen side.
Caution!
Ensure that a marginal space of 1-2 mm remains on all sides between the sticker and the
label area outer limits. It is vital for barcode identification. Do not let barcode sticker
protrude from slide edges or stick on the coverslip surface (

).
The thickness of the barcode sticker on the slide must not exceed 0.4 mm!
Do not stick
more than four barcode stickers over each other and the overall thickness must be kept
below 1.65 mm (including the barcodes and the slide)
