2) Load electron micrograph(s) emulsion side down between glass plates.
Please note: the glass plates should never touch each other – there should always
be a negative or the Zeiss plastic insert between the plates.
WEAR GLOVES!
Be extremely careful lifting the upper glass plate. Rest the plate on the two spongy
pads that are on the underside of the raised scanner lid. The spongy pads do not grip
the glass plate very tightly, therefore make sure the upper glass plate is securely held
up before letting go.
Place Zeiss plastic insert in manilla folder on shelf near scanner. Keep this insert
dust-free.
Once negatives are in place, slowly lower upper glass plate. Again, be very careful.
The glass plate fits snugly in the two, black metal corner guides. Make sure to lower
slowly and carefully so the glass is not chipped.
How to launch the scanning software:
1) Make a new folder for yourself in one of two places:
Data1 (E:) or Data2 (F:)
E and F hold about 70 GB each.
A 14 micron scan of approximately the entire negative at 8 bits/greyscale is about 40
MB.
DO NOT write anything into Local Disk (C:) or New Volume (D:). That space is
needed by the program.
2) Launch “Controller Hyper Terminal” (icon on desk top)
This provides the error messages during program runs. You can minimize this
window.
Anytime you encounter errors during scanning write down or save the text output
from the controller hyper terminal. Write down the errors in the log book and
report the error to Paul.
3) Launch “PhotoScan” (icon on desk top)
“PhotoScan” window appears
