Cool the coverslip on the opposite side of the crystal with a chip of dry
ice. Do not freeze the drop. I learned this from Gary Gilliland. Also I
wonder if you can simply move the whole tray into a cooler temperature?
You can imagine that the thermal expansion coefficient of the glass
coverslip and the crystal are different. I have not tried heating, but
maybe that works, too?
Or bend the coverslip without breaking is by applying pressure from the
opposite side.
