CUSTOMIZATION OF SETTINGS
3.8 Revised 3/30/2010
Explanation of Sub Menu Items
This section explains the operations available from
the sub menu screen and how to change each setting
(Figure 3-T).
When the MENU key is pressed, the menu screen
appears. When the MENU key is pressed again, the
display switches to the sub menu screen.
The coverslipping performance of this system
changes according to the various conditions such as the
thickness of glass slide, whether or not the slide is coated,
characteristics of mounting medium, tissue type, and
temperature/humidity. So that coverslipping is performed
properly, the set values of coverslipping conditions used
by the system must be changed according to each
situation.
The sub menu provides an adjustment menu for
achieving optimal coverslipping when the present
condition of coverslipping is not favorable.
Press the MENU key to open then menu screen, and
then press the MENU key again to move to the sub menu
screen.
Highlight a desired item using the < and > keys, and
make the selection using the ENTER key.
