<p>A transparent plastic slide having a plurality of covered examination chambers defined between generally parallel and uniformly spaced sidewalls integral with the slide, to hold specimen liquid in layers of substantially uniform depth for examination. Each chamber is formed as a laterally opening pocket having a semi-circular edge wall and an open side facing toward one edge of the slide, and a channel extends from each open side to the edge of the slide. The sidewalls are sufficiently close together to cause specimen liquid to be drawn into, and to fill, the chamber by capillary action when a quantity of the liquid is placed in the channel at the open side, such capillary action being sufficient to hold the liquid in the chamber when the edge of the slide is tapped gently against a suitable surface to remove excess liquid from the channel.</p> |
