• STP and CSP must be matched with each other, since otherwise there is the danger that the coverslip
mountant could drip over the specimen slide edge into the instrument at the stroke start point, or
become stuck to the suction cup due to poor coverslip placement. In both cases, continuing smooth
instrument operation cannot be ensured.
Notes on fine-tuning the parameters STP, CSP,
• In most cases, the parameter
low-viscosity coverslip mountants (information is based on experimental values and may vary).
For lower values (negative value up to 0/+10), there is the danger that the coverslip mountant will flow
out over the specimen slide or coverslip edge.
On the other hand, if the starting point of the coverslip mountant stroke is still positioned too
far towards the specimen slide center, air pockets could form in the coverslip edge area after
coverslipping and drying of the coverslip mountant.
