For moist lesions you can gently press the slide against the lesion and stain using the fixative and the 2 stains, rinse blot dry.
Scan slides at 10X power to find cellular areas then move to your 100X oil immersion lens. You should look at a minimum of 10 high power fields in different areas of the slide.
