[Histonet] Survey

[Mayer,Toysha N]

In my opinion a stainer would come first.  As it has already been stated, stainers provide consistency and reliability in the lab.  You can always find someone to assist with coverslipping, but not everyone can perform the stain just right.
Newer coverslippers are wonderful, they last and work great.  Just remember to open the dispensing valve for adequate flow of the reagent onto the slide.  That has always been the biggest problem with film units.  Don't get chintzsy with the reagent, but don't let them be too juicy.
