Staining is a more complex step than coverslipping. Also a coverslip on a section has more "latitude" and can, if necessary, be removed and coverslip in a different way. A stained section, on the other hand, is almost impossible to "correct". Between an autostainer and a coverslipper, I would choose an autostainer.René
