Abstract
An apparatus is provided to identify, index and display slides having a specimen thereon, and to secure the slides so as to protect biopsy material and similar specimens retained thereon. There is also provided a slide carrier to hold slides in spaced relation while slides are collectively immersed or wetted, thereby saving considerable time during the processing of the slides by laboratory personnel. The slides are marked by a permanent and unique code which is visible while the slides are retained within the slide carrier container.
