Integrated Imager Operator’s Manual
Important Operational Notes:
• A slide can only be imaged once on an Integrated Imager.
• The mounting medium must be thoroughly dry.
• The label must be appropriate for the ThinPrep
®
Integrated Imager (refer to page 3.14).
• Always keep the instrument in proper Koehler alignment (refer to page 5.2).
• Do not use filters on the collector or in the objectives - this will interfere with correctly imag-
ing the slide.
• During slide imaging keep motion or vibration near the instrument at a minimum.
• A slide must be reviewed on the same Integrated Imager that was used to image it.
• Marking the slide - the slides are manually marked by the CT. Follow your laboratory’s guide-
lines for marking slides. It is recommended that at least Auto Locate is completed prior to
making any physical marks.
• When using Auto Locate, the CT must always examine the entire field of view.
