Remove the film coverslip by placing the slide in acetone for a few minutes. Then recoverslip the slide with your current method.

> Hi all,
> We received some old slides (1997-1998) that were coverslipped with film. Sakura I would imagine. The issue here is that the coverslips have come up from the slide and the tissue is adhered to the back of the coverslip. They need to be recovered so they can be evaluated. What do you all recommend? We use the CV5030 for coverslipping. I tried one with xylene and mounting media but there were still a couple of air bubbles in there.
