Abstract

The invention is relative to a climatic cabinet with a door, a utilization space, a specimen storage device, an inner transport device and a transfer opening. A buffer specimen storage device and an outer transport device are arranged on the outside in front of the transfer opening. The outer transport device establishes a transport connection between the buffer specimen storage device and the transfer opening by which a specimen can be brought between the buffer specimen storage device and the inner transport device. The invention has the advantage that the dwell time of the blade in an area with outside temperature is restricted to a minimum, as a result of which an ice-free transfer of specimen slides can be carried out even given a high transfer frequency and great differences of temperature and of atmospheric moisture.
