Put a small spot of silicone grease in the middle of a glass 
slide. Drain the coverglass then touch against the grease, cells up, press 
gently then ring with a pen. Handle with care during the technique and 
press again if you think it's needed. When you're finished simply slip off 
and mount on a slide as usual. If aqueous I clean the excess grease off 
after the mountant has set. If you dehydrate the grease dissolves in the 
clearing agent. Vaseline works but silicone grease gives a better 
attachment during all the rinsing steps.
