NSTALLATION
Location
The Integrated Imager 'foot print' is approximately 76.2 cm x 61 cm, and <76.2 cm high (30 in. x
24 in., and < 30 in. high). Make sure there is adequate desk space for placing slide flats or
containers. (See Figure 2-1.) The instrument is approximately 32 kg (70 pounds). Be sure the table
or bench can support the weight.
CAUTION: Route connections carefully to avoid pinching the cables. To avoid tripping over, or
disconnecting cabling, do not place cabling near foot traffic.
The Integrated Imager is sensitive to vibrations. It should be placed on a flat, sturdy surface away
from any vibrating equipment.
If your system is configured with the computer located separately from the microscope, be
sure it is in a dust-free area, with reasonable access to the power switch.
