AS-410M Auto Slide Preparation System
4-4-2 Selecting the Operation Mode
This System uses two types to set the sectioning condition; Offline to specify the sectioning
conditions (section thickness and number of slices) and Online to specify the sectioning condition by
using an external personal computer. (Online mode requires an external PC connection with
expanded package option).
For tissue slide making in the STANDARD Mode, a single sectioning condition parameter is
applied to all sample blocks selected. In the EXPERT Mode, up to 4 pre-created sectioning condition
parameters (sectioning thickness , number of slices, and slide type) can be switched between each
block or block set area. In the INTERVAL Mode, sections with same sectioning condition can be
created from multiple layers out of one block. These three modes can be selected depending on the
User’s purposes for sectioning.
