To insert our slide, we need to feel under the open slide tray for a switch that will open and close the tab that secures our slides.
Open this tab, insert the slide with the label to the right (label should be in the more open end) and close the tab again to secure it in place.
Click on “New Scan” to start scanning. On Microscope, there will be two lights, a red and a blue flashing one, which is the microscope taking a birds eye view of the slide, and a short white burst which is a photo of the label (on the right side).
Now we should see a picture of our slide appear on the main screen, and we can further prepare for a scan.
