FH-8G1 Medical Holder FH-8G1 Medical Holder
The FH-8G1 can be used to scan up to three glass microscope slides of prepared tissue
samples. Slides must be 26 × 76 mm with a base 0.8–1.5 mm thick, a cover no more than
25 mm wide, 60 mm long, and 0.18 mm thick, and a total thickness of no more than 2 mm,
including adhesive.
Inserting Slides
Insert the slides cover up. Stop when the
slide contacts the base of the clips.
Inserting Slides
Insert slides between the guides. Forcing
the slides onto the guides could damage the
slides or clips and prevent the scanner from
focusing correctly. To minimize resistance,
try inserting slides at a slight angle.
Do Not Store Slides in the Holder
Leaving slides in the holder for extended periods could damage the clips holding the slides in place.
Do Not Use Digital ICE, Digital ROC, Digital GEM, or Digital DEE ( 50)
Noise may appear in images scanned with Digital ICE, Digital ROC, Digital GEM, or Digital DEE.
Scanning 35-mm Slides
The FH-8G1 can also be used to scan 35-mm slides. Do not mix 35-mm slides with microscope slides.
