2 Preparations before Starting Observation
 Be careful not to bump the microscope system during image acquisition. If the microscope is inadvertently
bumped during image acquisition, normal slide scan images cannot be acquired and calibration will be
necessary.
 Image quality may deteriorate if vibrations occur during image acquisition. For this reason, doing work on
the table during the image acquisition should be avoided as much as possible.
 Affix a one- or two-dimensional code label to a slide glass specimen on the same surface where the cover
glass is attached, within 25mm from the edge of the long side.
Do not use a slide glass specimen whose code label is coming off.
The code label may not be read properly depending on the code label condition.
* The following one- or two-dimensional codes can be read by VS120-L100.
Two-dimensional codes: QRCode, DataMatrix (ECC200), MicroQR, PDF417
Barcodes: WPC (JAN/EAN/UPC-A/UPC-E), NW-7, ITF, Industrial2of5, Code39, Code93, Code128,
RSS-14, RSSLimited, RSSExpanded
 If a slide glass specimen has a chip or crack in it, there is a case where it cannot be held in place on the
stage properly.
 Do not use a slide glass specimen whose cover glass sticks out over the edge of the slide.
 If there is dust or stains on a slide glass specimen, there are cases where the scan cannot be performed
properly. Before starting observations, remove dust or stains by wiping down the slide.
2-1 Starting the microscope system
1. Turn ON power of the controller, the monitor, the microscope control box, and the
slide loader (for VS120-L100 only). (Refer to the figures displayed in page 7 or

2. After Windows starts, enter your user name and password.
The user name and password to be entered here are not the user name
and password registered on the VS120.

The VS-ASW software starts, and the stage adjustment operation begins.
