Automated coverslippers typically operate through a series of programmed steps. The process begins with the machine applying a mounting medium to the prepared slide. The mounting medium acts as an adhesive to secure the coverslip to the slide. The coverslip is then precisely placed onto the slide by the machine. Advanced models often have features like barcode scanning to ensure that the correct coverslip is applied to the corresponding slide. These machines are designed to handle a variety of slide sizes and coverslip types, making them versatile tools in the histology lab.
