Two rectangular slides having front and rear faces are held with front faces facing each other. Raised end portions on one or both front faces abut and space the front faces by a distance (e.g., 100 to 250 .mu.m) conducive for reversible capillary action between the slides. Raised island portions on one or both front faces are located at corners opposite the raised end portions. The raised island portions serve to maintain spacing between the front faces, particularly as the ends of the slides opposite to the raised end portions contact an absorbent material. An opening between the raised island portions permits liquid to enter and leave the gap between the front faces.

A container for thin glass plates having a base portion. The base portion is provided with a well having a substantially planar bottom surface at an angle with respect to the vertical plane of the glass slides.
