Automated coverslipper for large format slides with switchable compatibility to handle multi format slides

A system for performing coverslipping:

• a coverslipper device assembled onto a frame and designated to move from one or more zones;
• an input zone that comprises a slide tray, wherein the slide tray comprises a stack of stained slides, wherein a slide is designated to be picked up by a coverslipper device from a slide pick-up platform;
• a dispensation zone, wherein the slide picked up from the slide pick-up platform reaches the dispensation zone, and a mountant medium is dispensed via a wedge-shaped nozzle;
• a slip pick-up zone, wherein the coverslipper device picks the cover slips stacked in a coverslip tray present in the slip pick-up zone, and moves to a coverslipping zone;
• the coverslipping zone, wherein the slide pick-up platform positions itself in the coverslipping zone while the picked coverslip is mounted over the slide and
• an output zone, wherein the processed cover slipped slide is transported by a slide conveyor and inserted into a slide tray of the output zone, wherein the slide tray is moved up and down and is positioned to accommodate the next processed slide.
