Allison, We have a refurbished Leica CV5030 and do like it. However, I agree with Beatrice, it took many hours of adjusting the drop size, and the ratio of mounting media with sovlent, to solve the mounting media problem. We did end up buying a smaller needle to dispense the mounting media and since then we have not had any problems.
Leica does not sell this size needle. If anyone would like the ordering information, I would be glad to to send the info to you. Peggy P.S. I have no experience with any other coverslipper (our histology dept. uses the Leica). -----Original Message----- From: histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu [mailto:histonet-boun...@lists.utsouthwestern.edu] On Behalf Of Hutton, Allison Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2011 2:49 PM To: histonet@lists.utsouthwestern.edu Subject: [Histonet] glass coverslippers I am in the market for a new coverslipper. I am looking at Thermo's clearvue or Leica's CV 5030. Does anyone have any input on either of these coverslippers, good or bad.
