Microscope Slide for Use with the Imaging System
The ThinPrep microscope slide is used by the ThinPrep Processor in preparing the patient slide. The
slide utilizes fiducial marks, or fixed reference points, which are permanently printed features on the
slide that are used to register the slide position on the stage. A coordinate system is based on the
fiducial marks, for locating objects of interest on the cell spot.
