The Slide group box contains the following elements:
•
Slide Thickness box:
In the Slide Thickness box the thickness of a sample (i.e. a slide)
must be entered in order to allow the instrument to search for the focal
plane within an appropriate range.
If the Slide Thickness is entered incorrectly, the algorithm might be
unable to find the right surface.
The Slide Thickness ranges from 0 to 2000 µm and must be adjusted
respectively to the Adapter height defined in *.saf files (see Advanced
Menu - Edit SAF... on page 6-85):
1) If the Adapter height is measured from the surface of the plate
transport to the surface of the spots, the Slide Thickness must
be set to 0.
2) If the Standard Tecan Slide Adapter is used (with the default
height of 11.5 mm), the thickness of the slide that is inserted
into the adapter must be edited as well.
The Slide Adapter Format group box contains the following elements:
