6. The Calibration Step 2 window will appear upon completion.
7. Load 10 μL of the LUNA-FX™ GF Calibration Beads into chamber A and 10 μL of the LUNA-
FX™ RF Calibration Beads into chamber B of a new PhotonSlide™. Vortex the calibration
beads solution thoroughly before loading into the PhotonSlide™.
8. Wait for 30 seconds for the beads to settle down.
9. Insert the slide face up and chamber A first into the slide port.
10. Press START; or, press SKIP, if fluorescence calibration is not needed.
