A protective microscope container for housing a microscope having a pair of focus control extension knobs extending therefrom and a pair of two dimensional slide holder control arms extending from the rear of the container. Two dimensional control members are used to drive a continuous slide holder over the viewing area of the microscope so that a plurality of specimen slides may be viewed without handling. The container also includes a light source and a support for a removable lens to provide different color viewing light depending on the nature of the specimen slides. The side walls of the container are hingedly mounted to the base of the container and can be easily opened to allow removal of the slide holder, specimen slides and the microscope if desired. In the preferred embodiment, the base of the container includes two generally planar surfaces hingedly mounted on their rear ends with a pair of thumb screws mounted in the top planar member in order to control the angle of the container relative to the lower base member as desired. Suction cups may be connected to the lower base member to secure the container to a table-top or the like.
