Device for sticking cover glass

Abstract

Problems of a conventional cover glass sticking device, in which a slide glass having one end side, where a describing portion is formed, is stored in a storage container and the one end side is always projected from level of a protection liquid therein, are solved by the device of the present invention. The device sticks a cover glass onto a sample applied to a slide glasshaving one end side, where a describing portion is formed, with an enclosure agent, the device comprises: a basketinto which the plurality of slide glassesare inserted; a storage containerfor immersing the basket in a protection liquid, which protects samples on the slide glasses, so as to immerse the entire slide glassestherein; a lifting/feeding unitfor lifting the basketto project one end side of the slide glassfrom the level of the protection liquid and feeding the basketssequentially to a position of a detection sensorfor detecting the position of one end side of the slide glassprojecting from the protection liquid; a take-out unitfor holding a side face of one end side of the slide glass, which has been detected by the detection sensor, and taking out the slide glassfrom the protection liquid; and a cagefor containing the slide glass, on which the cover glass has been stuck to cover the sample.
