Labeling slides

One slide label will print for each slide ordered and the source will appear on each label.

Labels

For fluid samples, the labels will indicate DIR for direct/unconcentrated or SED for sediment/concentrated. It is important to label fluid preparations correctly for accurate reporting.

Fluid Labels

Place the label evenly at the very edge of the base of the slide. Ensure that no portion of the label is hanging off the slide to prevent it from sticking to surfaces inside the scanner.
