Abstract

A method is described for transferring a thin tissue section affixed to a substrate by a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to a microscope slide which supports a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of polymerizable material. The tissue section is contacted to the second adhesive layer to form a laminate. Following polymerization of the second layer to form a positive bond between the tissue section and microscope slide, the substrate and first adhesive layer are completely removed to expose the tissue section, now affixed to the microscope slide by the polymerized second adhesive layer, for subsequent processing.
