The invention is the combination of a rectangular-shaped tray adapted to hold one or more removable slide frames which orient the slides horizontally, the combination also functioning to accurately and reproducibly align the slides for automated processing. The slide tray has molded features that positively hold the slide frames in place. The slide frames are removable so that the histotechnician may load the five or so slides that each frame holds in groups of five. The frames are removable to facilitate loading of slides and cleaning of the tray. A related invention is a slide tray for holding microscope slides substantially horizontally for automated chemical processing, comprising a tray having a floor and integral means for holding slides securely and fixedly positioned on said floor.

L'invention concerne un plateau de forme rectangulaire conçu pour supporter un ou plusieurs porte-lames amovibles orientant les lames horizontalement, l'ensemble formé par le plateau et les porte-lames permettant également d'aligner les lames de façon précise et reproductible en vue de leur traitement automatisé. Ce plateau pour lames présente des éléments moulés qui maintiennent les porte-lames en place par liaison de forme. Les porte-lames sont amovibles de sorte que l'opérateur puisse charger les lames, généralement au nombre de cinq, du porte-lames par groupes de cinq. Les porte-lames sont amovibles également pour faciliter le chargement des lames et le nettoyage du plateau. Un autre mode de réalisation concerne un plateau pour lames servant à supporter des lames de microscope sensiblement horizontalement en vue de leur traitement chimique automatisé, ce plateau comportant un fond et un moyen intégré servant à maintenir les lames de manière sûre et fixe sur ce fond.
