5.8.6 Volume calibration

The properties of the mounting medium that is used can be changed depending on the ambient
conditions. For example, the viscosity changes due to temperature differences. If the mounting medium
is stored at a cool temperature and deployed in a cool state in the instrument for use, the viscosity is
"tougher" (i.e. more viscous) than with a mounting medium which has already adapted to the ambient
temperature. The viscosity has a direct influence on the application quantity of the mounting medium on
the slide.
If the application quantity differs during coverslipping so significantly that the user fears a loss of quality,
the application quantity can be adjusted separately for both coverslip lines by means of the
Calibration menu. The application quantity configured in the parameter sets can remain unchanged.
Note
To adjust the application quantity, the password-protected
the adjustment is only possible if no processing is running and there are no longer any racks in the
instrument.

Note
Negative values (-1 through -5) reduce the application quantity for the selected coverslip line
incrementally, while positive values (1 through 5) increase the application quantity incrementally.
