Is this a tape coverslipper? If so, you do have minute traces of water
carryover to your xylene. If there is even the hint of pink in you last
dehydrant before xylene, you will get that cornflake artifact. Acetone wont
help, because water still be present. Increase number of absolute alcohol

We had this issue when we were using the tape from Mercedes Medical and went
back to
Sakura tape and it went away. It could also be associated with humidity.
