Andrea,
Back "in the Old Days" I worked for a pathologist who received many broken
consult slides and depending upon how broken they were I 1) soaked off the
coverslip and reapplied a long new coverslip. Sometimes a clean break through
the slide could be held together with just the coverslip or 2) soaked the slide
until everything separated then remounted the pieces on a new slide, with a new
long coverslip. My Path was able to use them although the extra thickness from
2 slides wasn't ideal, and I became quite proficient at jig saw puzzles!
