Cleaning and Maintenance

7.5 Description of the required daily cleaning measures (continued)

7.5.9 Cleaning and replacing the suction cups

Fig. 46

88

• Check the suction cups (

Fig. 46

, 88) for small

glass shards and splinters (from glass break-

ing) and adhesive residue. Carefully remove

any clinging adhesive residue and glass

shards and splinters.

• The suction cups have to be replaced if they

have visible deformation or damage. To do

so, pull the suction cups downwards and off

using your fingers (

see Fig. 46

) and replace

them with new suction cups.

7.5.10 Cover slip sensor

Check the cover slip sensor (89) for glued-on

material and ease of movement:
• The cover slip sensor is located on the bottom

of the Pick & Place module, between the two

suction cups. The cover slip sensor can be

moved freely if it can be moved up and down

by tapping it gently with the fingertip.

• If the cover slip sensor cannot be moved and/

or you can feel glued-on material, carefully

clean the sensor using a lint-free cloth soaked

in compatible solvent.

7.5.11 Specimen slide outfeed

• Check the specimen slide outfeed for adhesive

residue and, if necessary, clean it carefully

using a lint-free cloth soaked with compatible

solvent.

Carefully wipe down the suction

cups using a lint-free cloth soaked in

compatible solvent. They must not be

allowed to soak in solvent.
