By turning on the power there will be a pre-operational
system check.
Ensure that during this check the instrument contains
sufficient coverslip glasses, mounting medium and
solvent. When any of these do not reach their specified
level, add more until this requirement is met.
Check if any slides remain on the transfer area, and
remove them before proceeding.

to prevent air bubbles, insert the tube gently into the
bottle.
