Setting the Slowdown Position
To change the pressure applied to the cover glass
during coverslipping, use this function (Figure 3-U).
NOTE: This menu item is available only when the system
is on standby or paused or when the system check screen
is displayed.
Quality coverslipping can be achieved by pressing on
the cover glass with appropriate force. If air bubbles are
present or mounting medium seeps out from the sides,
take the following actions:
• If air bubbles are present, raise the slowdown
position (increase the pressure).
• If mounting medium seeps out from the sides,
lower the slowdown position (decrease the
pressure).
