Description
The
Dispenser
holds up to 1 pack of 22 mm x 1.0 mm plain or siliconized
Square cover slides. The dispenser is fitted with a metal
Knob
to allow easy
movement when loading and unloading cover slides. The Dispenser moves
to the right and left ends of the cover slide Gizmo along two chromed
Rails
.
The rails are positioned over the cover slide
Platform
. Each Rail is secured
to the 22 mm x 1.0 mm Square Cover Slide Gizmo with 2 mm allen head
screws. A top edge of the Platform is notched at each cover slide position to
allow finger or forceps access to the cover slides dispensed onto the Platform.
The
Base
has four rubber feet to keep the 22 mm x 1.0 mm Square Cover
Slide Gizmo flat and stationary. A black metal
Cover Slide Chamber
sup-
plied with the 22 mm x 1.0 mm Square Cover Slide Gizmo fits over the
Dispenser to keep cover slides clean during operation. See Figure 2.
