title: [Automation in histology: evaluation of a device for automatic covering of histologic slides].
abstract: A new kind of instrument (Tissue-Tek Coverslipper) has been utilized by the Department of Surgical Pathology Cà Granda Hospital, Milano, for automatic mounting of cytohistological slides, using a pluristratified plastic film, instead of usual coverglasses. The introduction of this coverslipper has reduced the answer time, the technical work and the ambiental pollution. This coverslipper seems to be reliable, useful and very speedy; the optical quality of the slides was similar to conventional ones in our experience.
