Never heard of that, but perhaps she is referring to placing some small weight over the coverslipped section to help eliminate the bubbles by the weight, other than that, that is totally new for me. René J.

This may sound crazy...or not. I have to admit that I have never heard of this device before and I was wondering if any of you out in histoland could tell me what this is and where one might go to get it, if it were available for sale. Here goes: A student who was having a difficult time learning how to coverslip slides in my lab told me that she used to work for a doctor who invented a device to help coverslip. It was "like a magnet" and just eliminated all bubbles from under the coverslip. Anybody know?
