A microscope slide dispenser is formed with a slide case dispensing attachme nt having a slide dispensing mechanism and a disposable, plastic slide case tha t is removably coupled to the dispensing attachment. Positioning members on the dispensing attachment interact with corresponding members on the case to properly position the slide relative to a seating platform or slide case seat. A slid e carrier has a anger that projects outwardly from the dispensing attachment and toward the slide case to engage the rear edge of the closest of a plurality of microscope slides stacked within the case. The case is provided with a carrier finger opening and a slide dispensing slot. Operation of the dispensing mechanism engages the carrier finger behind the slide closest to the end wall at which the dispensing attachment is located. The carrier finger pushes the microscope slide closest to the end wall at which the dispensing attachment is located out of the slide case through the slide dispensing slot. The carrier may be spring-biased so that the slide-engaging finger returns to a slide-engaging position behind the next slide, which moves into place once the slide aligned with th e slide ejection slot has been ejected. Once all slides have been ejected from the case, the case is discarded.
