PANNORAMIC® SCAN RX 1.0
Warning!
Ensure that no part of the mounted coverslip protrudes from the edges of the slide. Use
slides with completely dried embedding medium only. Otherwise, the coverslip can be
shifted that makes slide insertion less reliable. Not completely dried embedding might also
influence the operation of objectives and other device parts.
Caution!
Do NOT scratch any circular marker onto the glass surface of a slide, use a soft tip pen
instead for marking area of interest.
Notice:
The distance between slide edges and the edges of the mounted coverslip should be 1-2 mm,
and they should be parallel with each other.
Notice:
Fluorescent signals become more easily detectable for the scanner, therefore resulting in a
brighter and better image, by treating the slide with a formula that prevents rapid
photobleaching of fluorescent reagents (e.g., VECTASHIELD® Fluorescent Mounting
Medium by Vector Laboratories and ProLong® Gold and SlowFade® Gold antifade reagents
by Invitrogen) during the immunostaining protocol.
