4. Instrument Setup
4.7 Aligning the dispenser needle height relative to the specimen slide outfeed
Fig. 13
The height of the dispenser needle must be
aligned to the specimen slide correctly so that
no air bubbles are generated while the mountant
is applied. The dispenser needle height must not
be set too low in order to avoid damage to the
specimen on the specimen slide.
Aligning the dispenser needle:
• Switch off the instrument and unplug it.
• Open the service door (28) as outlined in
Chap. 4.6 (Fig. 7) .
• Remove the cover slip catch tray that may
already be attached at the specimen slide
outfeed.
• Move the dispenser with the dispenser needle
into the working position.
• There is a pulley (51) that moves the specimen
slide outfeed (52) in the area near the opened
service door. This can be used to move the
specimen slide outfeed to the left and right
( see yellow arrow, Fig. 13, 51).
• The dispenser needle can be moved back-
ward and forward in the working position
( see Fig. 13, 53) carefully by hand using the
Pick & Place module.

slide outfeed (see Fig. 14, 55) and the tip of the
dispenser needle so that they are touching.
Caution!
Do not cause the Pick & Place module
to make any downward motion.
