Definitions

  • a tray-like holder for flat rectangular objects, such as microscope slides, into which such objects can be easily placed and from which such objects can be easily withdrawn comprises a base with upstanding elongated sidewalls and transverse endwalls to form a major elongated receptacle.
  • This major receptacle is divided into individual smaller receptacles by a plurality of vertical partitions which extend transversely inwardly from each of the longitudinal sidewalls. Between adjacent partitions there is located an abutment on or adjacent to the corresponding longitudinal sidewall. A row of openings in the base is located adjacent and generally parallel with at least one of the longitudinal sidewalls, each of the openings being located between adjacent transverse partitions.
  • An object can be easily placed on the base between adjacent partitions with one end of the object engaging an abutment and the other end of the object extending partially over a corresponding opening in the base. The object can be easily removed by placing a linger into the base opening against the exposed end of the object and lifting the object.
