The invention relates to a treatment compartment () for treating histological samples with treating agents (&#x2033;). The treatment compartment () comprises a housing () with an inlet and outlet (') for the treating agents (&#x2033;), a rotatable retaining device () which receives the samples and a closable access opening () on the front (). The aim of the invention is to improve a treatment compartment () of the above kind in such a way that it has a compact design and is easily accessible without the risk of the treating agents (&#x2033;) emerging. According to the invention, the housing () is designed and mounted in such a manner and at least the lower zone of the front () is provided with such a rim () that a liquid level () of the treating agents (&#x2033;) can be formed even when the access opening () is open, and that the sample is held in the retaining device () in such a way that it can be moved, when the retaining device rotates, through the treating agents (&#x2033;) forming the liquid level ().

Treatment compartment for treating histological samples

A covering device places cover glasses on object carriers. The object carriers are held in a holder in a position inclined relative to the horizontal. The cover glasses are placed on the object carriers by a rotational movement. A pivot pin of the segment that places the cover glasses on the object carriers is mounted so as to be horizontally displaceable, such that when the cover glasses are positioned, they press on the object carriers in a rolling motion to prevent bubbles from forming in the specimen being mounted.
