③ Edit the sectioning parameters
Touch and hold any of the numbered buttons 1 to 4 for 2 seconds.
Then, a numerical keypad appears for use for value entry. Each
touch on the ENT key moves the cursor once. Once 3 different
sets of values are set, the numerical keypad will automatically
close.
Up to 3 different sets of values can be set per sectioning condition.
Enter a sectioning thickness and number of slices for each sectioning condition.
When making changes to the section thickness in a single block, be sure to set
thicknesses in order from the thinner to the thicker to prevent uneven slicing.
For example, when cutting 3 μm-, 5 μm-, and 7 μm-sections, set 3 μm as the first
condition (1st.), 5 μm as the second condition (2nd.), and 7 μm as the third
condition (3rd.).
