The two mixing grooves are located in the mixing area of the platen. As
buffer is pumped onto the platen from the channel right of the mixing
grooves, stain and buffer move around the mixing grooves and hence fully
intermingle.
The slide dryer is a blower type fan that runs continuously when the slide
stainer is in operation. The airflow serves to cool the mechanical
components inside the system, as well as to dry the glass slides.
The slide drawer is located below the left end of the platen. It receives the
glass slides as they drop from the platen after being stained, rinsed, and
dried. The slide drawer holds approximately 65 glass slides and can be
pulled from the front of the slide stainer. When installed properly, the slide
drawer front is flush with the front plate of the slide stainer.
The electrical components of the slide stainer are displayed in Figure 4-9,
Figure 4-10, and Figure 4-11.
