the park position, move the Pick
& Place module towards the
user and remove the specimen
slide. You can now coverslip
the specimen slide manually.
As an alternative, immerse the
specimen slide in a compatible
solvent and remove the cover-
slip mountant, then re-insert the
specimen slide into the instru-
ment for coverslipping.

slip sensor and/or the skids on

the Pick & Place module using
a lint-free cloth moistened
with compatible solvent or
replace them with new ones
(see Chap. 7.5.9).

formed.
