3.1 Preparing Slides and Magazines

This chapter demonstrates how to prepare slides and magazines. You can use slides and
coverslips that meet the following specifications:
Slides
Length 75.0 to 76.0 mm
25.0 to 26.0 and
Width
51.0 to 52.0 mm
Thickness 0.90 to 1.2 mm
Corners 45° beveled corners
Edges Ground or cut
Warning!
Always wear personal protective equipment (safety goggles, gloves, and coat) when
working with biohazardous material or slides.
Warning!
Do not use a slide when it is broken, or its edges are not properly cut or grounded. Using
such slides can lead to injury.
Warning!
If the scanner is equipped with a 40× objective, the outer rim of the sample should be at
least 3mm distance from the slide edge on the left side, since the working distan ce of the
40× objective is 0.25mm, therefore, the objective edge may collide with the stage edge
during digitization.
