Abstract

A container for removably retaining a plurality of microscope slides in a predetermined spaced relationship comprises a back wall (18), a pair of opposing side walls (20, 22) and a pair of opposing end walls (24, 26). The side walls and end walls extend from the back wall, and the end walls extend between the side walls. The side walls have a plurality of side ribs (48). The back wall has a plurality of grippers (62), each of which include a first grip rib (64) and a second grip rib (66). The first grip rib has a first grip location capable of firmly gripping one of the slides to prevent the slide from freely moving. Additionally, the first grip rib is capable of flexing away from the second grip rib. Moreover, each of the side walls has an outer surface, and one of said outer surfaces has a rail (36, 38) projecting outward from the outer surface. The outer surface also has an orientation notch (40) and a circular-shaped projection with a depressed center.
