Makerworld has significantly reduced the download/print points awarded to designers. Instead, they have introduced the "Boost" token, which you can apply to models that may not be the most popular (already gaining points from downloads and prints), but are useful or meaningful to you in general. This supports and encourages us, the "losers" (those not focusing on popular themes like Star Wars, car keychains, countless airless balls, etc.), to create more useful or niche designs.

This page holds the model for a microscope slide stand/holder for drying slides in the format of Kit Cards. The designs feature materials friendly yet rigid and stable for assembly, easy printing & assembly, and have been tested in actual biomedical labs.

Please visit the following separate models:

These models are published separately to:

1. Avoid clutter
2. Facilitate easy searching for the correct items
3. Allow convenient potential updates and troubleshooting.

After all, laboratory vessels come in different sizes and variations, so minor adjustments might be needed for individual cases. Just let me know in the comments, and I will try to resolve them.

Background:

A microscope slide is a thin, flat piece of glass or plastic used to hold a specimen for examination under a microscope. These slides typically measure about 1 inch by 3 inches and have a smooth, flat surface on which the specimen can be placed.

General staining of a slide involves treating the specimen on the slide with various dyes or stains to highlight specific structures or components for better visualization under a microscope. This staining process helps to enhance the contrast and visibility of the specimen, allowing for detailed examination and analysis.

A slide stand or holder for drying slides, these are devices designed to securely hold multiple microscope slides in an upright position while they dry after staining. The slide stand or holder typically consists of slots or grooves where the slides can be inserted vertically, allowing them to air dry without touching each other or coming into contact with any surfaces that could potentially damage the specimen or the staining. These holders are essential for maintaining the integrity of the stained specimens and preventing any smudging or distortion during the drying process.

Assembly:
Simply slot the support pillars into the panels. It should be easier than assembling IKEA furniture, and anyone smart enough to be in a lab should have no problem assembling them.
