7.5.9 Cleaning and replacing the suction cups
Fig. 46
88
• Check the suction cups (
Fig. 46
, 88) for small
glass shards and splinters (from glass break-
ing) and adhesive residue. Carefully remove
any clinging adhesive residue and glass
shards and splinters.
• The suction cups have to be replaced if they
have visible deformation or damage. To do
so, pull the suction cups downwards and off
using your fingers (
see Fig. 46
) and replace
them with new suction cups.
7.5.10 Cover slip sensor
Check the cover slip sensor (89) for glued-on
material and ease of movement:
• The cover slip sensor is located on the bottom
of the Pick & Place module, between the two
suction cups. The cover slip sensor can be
moved freely if it can be moved up and down
by tapping it gently with the fingertip.
• If the cover slip sensor cannot be moved and/
or you can feel glued-on material, carefully
clean the sensor using a lint-free cloth soaked
in compatible solvent.

7.5.11 Specimen slide outfeed
• Check the specimen slide outfeed for adhesive
residue and, if necessary, clean it carefully
using a lint-free cloth soaked with compatible
solvent.
Carefully wipe down the suction
cups using a lint-free cloth soaked in
compatible solvent. They must not be
allowed to soak in solvent.
