5 Operation of the
991-3001 Rev. 1.3 June-2013 17
5.4 Result presentation
Depending on the type of analysis performed the result will be presented on the PC
within a few seconds and the fluorescent image(s) will be stored on the hard disk .
Typical process time is from 20 seconds to 2 minutes for multi image and multi color
analysis.
5.5 Protection of the optical system
The lid covers the sample tray. This lid is designed to protect the area from dust and
other potential contaminants, and to keep external light from interfering with the
fluorescent image recording. The lid is spring loaded so it will automatically close
during insertion of the sample tray.
Unless inserting or ejecting a sample media or cleaning the sample tray, the sample
tray should be inserted at all times to protect the optical system of the
NucleoCounter
®
NC-3000 ™. After operation, shut down the NucleoView NC-3000™
software first, so the sample tray will be inserted in case left ejected. Then the
NucleoCounter
®
NC- 3000™ can be turned off by removing the DC power plug or
disconnecting the wall outlet.
