The platform is limited by a vertical arrest which is arranged on the side of the means for placing a cover glass and provided with slots for accommodating the comb teeth therein. In addition, said device can be provided with a rolling press arranged above the comb.

Device for mounting histological and biological specimens

The device for processing and infiltration of histological specimens according to the invention applied for comprises a rotating means consisting of a ring of containers for cassettes with histological specimens which is mounted on a horizontal rotation axis in the vertical plane. The inner diameter of the ring is 2-4 times the width of a cassette for histological specimens. The rotating means is located in a case, which is connected to tanks for processing and infiltration fluids and to a vacuum pump through branch pipes.
