Automated Coverslipper
Quick Reference Guide
®
The Tissue-Tek
Film
designed to coverslip biological specimens that are
mounted on standard 25 x 75 mm (1.0 x 3.0 inch)
microscope slides. The use of a special, resin-coated,
film and xylene eliminates the need for coverglass and
Ensure
mounting media.
The instrument, as part of the
histopathology process, is intended to facilitate the in
vitro examination of human and animal tissue for
morphology changes by a pathologist.
