Biopsy specimen transfer system comprises a specimen holder (39) mounted on a carriage (21). The holder can be moved along a longitudinal groove (16). The lateral position of the holder can be adjusted by sliding it along a transverse groove (18). The specimen (3) is transferred from the biopsy needle on to a dish (5) which is moved into the holder using the carriage. An Independent claim is included for a method for using the system in biopsy transfer.
