Abstract

Apparatus is described for applying a coverslip to a microscope slide wherein a coverslip is dispensed from a magazine, a predetermined amount of liquid is applied to a face of the coverslip, a microscope slide is positioned in close proximity to such face of the coverslip, and a portion of the coverslip is moved toward the microscope slide so that the liquid comes into contact with the slide and bridges a portion of the space between the coverslip and the slide. Capillary action of the liquid then acts to draw the coverslip against the slide. The liquid fills the space between the coverslip and slide and capillary action maintains all the liquid within such capillary space.
