An apparatus for handling biopsy specimens comprises a transfer part, a slide displaceable in a groove of said transfer part, preparation plates for the reception of biopsy specimens, and a shifter part that serves to introduce the biopsy specimens into the preparation plates. The empty preparation plates are positioned at a predetermined point in the groove of the transfer part, and the shifter part is placed onto the transfer part above the preparation plates. The biopsy specimens are then introduced into the specimen well of a preparation plate by manually actuated instruments or by means of a stream of fluid. The filled preparation plate is displaced back in the groove of the transfer part using the slide, and is transferred into a specimen holder prepared for it.
