Couple of questions tho:
1. I know Mayo runs frozens differently than most other institutions, but couldn’t you still coverslip them when you are done with them, or is the water-based process incompatible with mounting media?
2. How does destroying slides before 10 years pertain to “overbilling”? Was it just something they added on to the suit?
3. Would there be any issue with scanning slides without coverslips?
