Looking through the eyepieces, focus the microscope on the top arc of the frosted area. (Refer to Fig-
ure 4-4.) Press the Continue soft key when ready.
If you are doing the routine calibration of the marker and a marking pen is already in the object
marker holder, press the Skip soft key.
If you are replacing the pen with a new one, remove the pen now.
CAUTION: Do not load the Sharpie marking pen until prompted to do so. During load-
ing, the control arm moves it to a position that allows for the best access, and ensures
that it seats most securely against the seal diaphragm.
Take a new pen, uncap it and prime the marker by gently dragging the tip across a piece of lint free
tissue. Load the pen into the holder.
• For ThinPrep Review Scopes that use the Sharpie marking pen, push the pen into the guide,
making sure it is seated against the holder. Then press the locking arm to the right until it
firmly grips the pen. (Refer to Figure 4-5.)
