[Histonet] slides with flimsy coverslip coming off

[Patrick Laurie]

This can happen with the older plastic coverslipping material.  I have
heard that they have since fixed it though.  We had several years worth of
slides that this happened to, the only way we could reliably fix it was add
coverslipping media below the coverslip and put something flat and heavy on
top.

Since the coverslips dissolve in acetone, we tried several things with
attaching the tissue, using acetone to dissolve the coverslip, but it never
worked very well.
