Have you done this? Acetone does not dissolve resinous mounting media and allow removal of coverslips. It's all in the books; buy one.

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.
