Abstract

An apparatus for the sequential multi-step processing of slide surface portions. The apparatus includes subassemblies and assemblies and a computer driven control system therefor. The apparatus permits at least one step of such a process sequence to be carried out with minimal amounts of processing liquids which is advantageous for specimen treatment with costly reagents, such as aqueous compositions containing probes. Immunochemical and in situ hybridization procedures can be carried out.
