<p>A portable, manually operable device for preparing a monolayer film of a biological fluid sample or the like on a slide for microscopic examination. Said device includes a base (12, 112) for retaining the slide (14) on a support surface (18) thereof and a spreader (16,116) manually movable linearly relative to the base and slide in a pass which spreads a sample of the fluid on the slide into such a monolayer without engagement of the spreader (16, 116) with the surface (18, 118). Preferably, the spreader is constructed to be disposable.</p> |
