Abstract
A slide holder and transfer device which is preferably fabricated of a single integral member has side gripping members which are always resiliently biased toward a slide gripping position by a resilient biasing member which bridges a group of slides. Manual gripping members are provided for flexing the first resilient biasing member against the bias thereof to move the side gripping members apart for either engaging a group of slides or for releasing a previously engaged group of slides. Even when the side gripping members are in such spaced apart condition, they are resiliently biased toward their more closely spaced relative position by the first resilient biasing member.
