The following additional precautions must be observed to prevent
automatic transfer errors from occurring:
 Keep slide glass specimens free of moisture or water.
 Clean the reverse face of a slide glass specimen to remove dust or
stains.
Do not deliver the cassette being tilted. The slide glass specimen in
the cassette may drop out.
1. Hold and lift the cassette cover open/close handle (1) of the slide loader to open
the cassette cover.
2. Take two cassettes out by holding the knob (2) at the top of the cassette.
3. Set the cassette on a level surface with the cassette lid (3) facing up.
4. Orient a slide glass specimen (4) such that the label (5) faces the lid and the cover
glass faces the knob. Insert the slide glass specimen (4) oriented this way into the
cassette.
(6) Be careful not to insert one slide glass specimen diagonally into
two different slots.
(7) Be careful not to insert more than one slide glass specimen into a
single slot.
Slide glass specimens are transferred into the microscope system in the
order indicated by the arrow.
5. Gently set the cassette loaded with slide glass specimens upright. Hold the knob
while taking care not to tilt the cassette, hold it so the lid faces left, and then put
the cassette back into place inside the slide loader.
6. Check that the CASSETTE1 (or CASSETTE 2) status indicating LED on the front
face of the slide loader lights up green.
7. Close the cassette cover on the slide loader.
