Book Description
Excerpt from The American Monthly Microscopical Journal, Vol. 11: Containing Contributions to Biology for 1890 The slide cases sold by dealers being often expensive, many persons will prefer the one shown in the frontispiece, Figures I and 2. Make a pine box, of which the inside measurements are 75 by 8, and 3 in. Deep. If deeper, the box becomes too large to grasp comfortably in the hand. The lid should hinge on one of the 7% in. Sides, and the opposite side of the box should let down flat by means ofa pair of hinges at the bottom. Cut a number of squares of cardboard for trays, b Then for each tray cut two half-inch strips Of stoutest pasteboard, 75} in. Long; three strips _of_the same width, 6i in. Long. With glue or thick gum affix the two long and two of the short strips to the card board close to the edge, and use the remaining short piece to divide the cent1al space equally into two. The size of the spaces will be 6% by and each tray will hold a dozen slides. My own box, 3 in. Deep, holds 24 of these trays, capable of accommodating 288 slides, and the cost of the whole is a little ove1 one dollar, or less than one -fifth for the same amount of accommodation in boxes sold for the purpose.
