RE: [Histonet] air drying special stain slides rather than dehydrate and clear

I suppose my age will show here but I was always taught to NEVER let slides dry out unless the procedure indicated such. Is there no drying artifact when you let these slide dry before coverslipping? Hazel Horn Supervisor of Histology/Autopsy/Transcription Anatomic Pathology Arkansas

Hazel, The only time I have seen any problem was when a stain was not fully washed off the slide. Once you put the slide in xylene and coverslip it the slide is just like any other. Amos On Sep 12, 2012 8:57 AM, Horn, Hazel V hor...@archildrens.org wrote: I suppose my age will show here but I
