Coverslipper Device Overview:

• Processes large format slides of 6” X 8” and 5” X 7”, and can be customized to smaller sizes.
• Features a slide tray with stained slides inserted into grooves for easy pick-up. Uses a wedge-shaped nozzle to uniformly dispense mountant medium over the slide.
• Controlled by a dedicated algorithm for accurate and uniform placement and air bubble prevention.
• Composed of a vertical plate, a first curved plate, and a second curved plate.
• Rotates the second curved plate along a predefined path, allowing vacuum suction cups to lift the cover slip.
• Achieves a unique locus of motion to prevent air pockets and bubbles below the cover slip.The rack mimics human ankle motion between Dorsiflexion and Plantarflexion positions.

Uses and Applications:

• Prevents contact between the microscope’s objective lens and the specimen.
• Provides an even thickness (in wet mounts) for viewing depth.
• Viewing enhancement as the specimen is flattened.
• Deceleration of evaporation from the sample, both in wet and dry mounted slides.
• Permanent affixation for long term and repeated use of Permanent Specimens.

Large Format Specimen Protection and Storage:

• Enables long-term preservation and storage of large format specimens.
• Economizes cover-slipping process through indigenous algorithms
• Versatile, supporting multiple slide sizes, a unique feature not found anywhere else
• Supports cover-slipping of large quantities of slides, like adult human brain sections.
• Processes large format cover-slips, a unique feature not developed globally.
