Using the FH-8G1 Medical Holder<br />
The FH-8G1 is used when scanning 26 mm × 76 mm glass microscope slides containing prepared<br />
tissue samples. Up to three slides can be placed in the holder at a time. Slides must<br />
conform to the following specifications:<br />
Total thickness: 2 mm or less<br />
Dimensions (slide): width 26 mm, length 76 mm, thickness 0.8–1.5 mm<br />
Dimensions (cover): width 25 mm or less, length 60 mm or less, thickness 0.18 mm<br />
or less<br />
Insert the slides under the clips. Slides should be inserted between the guides, with the cover<br />
facing upwards. Stop when the slide comes into contact with the base of the clips.<br />
Cautions<br />
Do not use force when inserting slides. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the clips<br />
that hold the mounts in place. Should you encounter resistance, try inserting the slides at a slight<br />
angle.<br />
Be sure to insert slides between the guides. The scanner may not be able to adjust focus correctly<br />
if slides are placed on top of the guides. Inserting the slides on top of the guides could also<br />
damage the clips that hold the mounts in place.<br />
Do not leave the slides in the holder for extended periods, as it may deform the clips that hold the<br />
slide mounts in place.<br />
Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the slides and holder. Leaving dust, lint, or other<br />
foreign objects on the slides or holder during scanning could result in reduced image quality.<br />
Do not use Digital ICE3 when scanning microscope slides. When Digital ICE3 is used, noise may<br />
appear in the preview image or final scan.<br />
The FH-8G1 can also be used to scan mounted 35-mm film. You should not, however, place<br />
microscope slides and 35-mm slides in the holder at the same time.<br />
