I don't know exactly what they are doing but when I did rat 
brains then the slices are being placed into some liquid medium 
in a petri dish.  A glass plate is immersed in the medium and the 
camel-hair brushes are used to float/unfold/coach the slices onto 
the glass slide. You need to develop a light and delicate touch 
otherwise you will tear the the slices.
