Abstract

The object storage device (7) is a carousel and holds objects in object carriers (8). They lie only partially on a structure of the object storage device (7) and can be lifted up. The storage station has a carousel-like object storage device (7) and a transport device (11) with an element (50) for holding the object carriers (8) which moves the object carriers (8) parallel and perpendicular to the axis of the carousel-like object storage device (7). The climatic test cabinet (1) has a window (6) whose opening can be tightly closed by a sturdy casement. The window opening has dimensions such that one object carrier (8) at a time can be moved through it. The climatic test cabinet (1) also has a storage station inside it consisting of an object storage device (7) and a transport device (11), which transports one of the object carriers (8) at a time back and forth between the object storage device (7) and the vicinity of the window (6).
