Rene could you please explain why coverslipping is a technical skill. It would seem coverslipping slides would be like labeling slides with just little bit more skill. Thank you in advance for your thoughts. HAPPY HOLIDAYS, PATTI RUBEN-NELSON H.T.(ASCP) SUPERVISOR/DGC P.O.

Other than accessioning. Embedding? Cutting? Staining? Where is the CAP line on what is technical and what is non-tecnical? I am not fluent in CAP and would like to know what you all think.
