<p>Method and apparatus for neatly and efficiently coating microscope slides with a staining liquid. One or more slides (20) are dipped into a pool of liquid (60) partially filling a chamber in a container 30. The chamber has a cross-section conforming closely to the slide exterior so that slide immersion causes the liquid level to rise upwardly and cover all those portions of the slides which may contain a specimen to be stained. To stain a multiplicity of slides simultaneously, the slides are clamped in a holder between spacers which hold them parallel and spaced apart by a small predetermined distance, and the clamped slides are then held by the holder during subsequent immersion and removal. A special inexpensive arrangement of case and slidable drawer with wedge-shaped side portions is used to facilitate fast clamping and unclamping of the slides. <IMAGE></p> |
