Description
The Dispenser holds up to 1 pack of 18 mm x 1.0 mm siliconized circle
cover slides. The dispenser is fitted with a metal Knob to allow easy move-
ment 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 18 mm x 1.0 mm Circle 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 18 mm x 1.0 mm Circle Cover Slide
Gizmo flat and stationary. A black metal Cover Slide Chamber supplied
with the 18 mm x 1.0 mm Circle Cover Slide Gizmo fits over the Dispenser to
keep cover slides clean during operation. See Figure 2.
