Abstract
A sample mounting and coverslipping method includes a step of preparing a slide and a coverslip, the slide having a sample attached thereon, a step of degassing a mounting medium to generate a degassed mounting medium, a step of applying the degassed mounting medium to the slide or the coverslip, and a step of mounting and coverslipping the sample by overlaying the coverslip on the slide via the degassed mounting medium. With this method, it is possible to reduce air bubbles between the slide and the coverslip.
Claims16
A sample mounting and coverslipping method comprising:
- a) preparing a slide and a coverslip, the slide having a sample attached thereon;
- b) degassing a mounting medium to generate a degassed mounting medium;
- c) applying said degassed mounting medium to said slide or said coverslip;
- and
- d) mounting and coverslipping said sample by overlaying said coverslip on said slide via said degassed mounting medium.
A sample mounting and coverslipping device comprising:
- a slide holder that holds a slide having a sample attached thereon;
- a coverslip holder that holds a coverslip;
- a mounting medium applicator that applies a degassed mounting medium to said slide or said coverslip, the degassed mounting medium being generated by degassing a mounting medium;
- and
- a glass shifter that shifts said coverslip holder relative to said slide holder to overlay said coverslip on said slide via said degassed mounting medium and to coverslip said sample.
A sample mounting and coverslipping device comprising:
- a slide holder that holds a slide having a sample attached thereon;
- a coverslip holder that holds a coverslip that faces said slide with an interstice therebetween;
- and
- a mounting medium applicator that applies a degassed mounting medium to the interstice between said slide and said coverslip to fill said interstice with said degassed mounting medium, the degassed mounting medium being generated by degassing a mounting medium.
