A slide pocket includes a first shell portion having a slide well with a depth suitable for accepting a sample-containing portion of a slide thereby positioning a sample affixed to the sample-containing portion of the slide within the slide well. The slide well has a plurality of beveled interior walls, the beveled portions functioning to prevent the sample affixed to the sample-containing portion of the slide from contacting any surface of the slide well during insertion. The slide pocket has a second shell portion, mateable in fluid tight engagement with the first shell portion. The second shell portion has a slide well. The first and second shell portions engage to define a single continuous slide chamber, a fluid input channel and fluid input port in communication with the single continuous slide chamber, and a fluid output channel and fluid output port in communication with the single continuous slide chamber.
