After cover slipping we just allow the slide to stay on the bench for it to
dry. We then carefully remove the extra mountant with the aid of scalpel
blade. Of course dust may cover it but cotton wool and xylene this can be
removed.

Hello,
Would anyone mind sharing their procedure after coverslipping a slide?
Do you let the slide sit and dry? Do you use xylenes to wipe of the extra
mounting medium immediately?
I noticed after storing the slides in a slide box, a lot of dust collects. Is
this because of the xylenes? Should
