A machine for automatically attaching cover slips to microscope slides havin g specimens for microscopic examination, comprising a first magazine (6) for microscope slides (8), a second magazine (9) for cover slips (11), and a reciprocating transport means (12) for transport of slides (8) and cover sli ps (11) from the respective magazines to a working station (13) comprising a pumping means (14) for application of adhesive to slides, and a lifting mean s (15) for lifting and placing of a cover slip (11) on a slide (8) which is provided with adhesive. The two magazines (6, 9) are located on opposite sid es of the transport means (12), and the transport means is arranged to carry a slide (8) from the first magazine (6) to the working station (13) in an outgoing movement from a home position, and to carry a cover slip (11) from the second magazine (9) to the working station in a return movement, the lifting means (15) being arranged to lift a cover slip (11) from the transpo rt means (12, 31) before the latter is allowed to start its outgoing movement, and further is arranged to place a cover slip (11) on the slide (8) on the working station (13) with terminated outgoing movement of the transport mean s (12) and after application of adhesive to the slide by the pumping means (14 ). Further, the transport means (12) is arranged to bring the slide with attach ed cover slip back to the first magazine (6) during its return movement, at the same time as a new cover slip (11) is carried from the second magazine (9) t o the working station (13). |
