Abstract
Various examples are provided related to slide preparation. In one example, a slide preparation apparatus includes a support surface, an upper surface opposite the support surface, and a sample tube holder. The upper surface can include a slide channel extending to a stop, a fiducial mark disposed in the slide channel, and a support bar extending across the slide channel. The sample tube holder can secure a sample tube in a vertical position adjacent to an end of the upper surface adjacent to the stop. When a syringe is supported by a sample tube positioned in the sample tube holder, a needle of the syringe can be aligned with the fiducial mark when it is seated in a guide groove of the support bar.
