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 edges of the mounted coverslip and the label do not stick out of the slide. Both
the coverslip and the label must be placed flat on the glass slide.
Use slides with completely dried embedding medium only. Otherwise, the coverslip can be
shifted that makes slide insertion less reliable. Not completely dried embedding might also
influence the operation of objectives and other device parts.
