Cover slip sticking device

Abstract

It is an object to provide a cover slip sticking device capable of improving matching between types of clearing agents and cover slips. As a means for solving the problem, a cover slip sticking device includes a dipping bath ( 21 ) in which slide glasses ( 22 ) on which specimens are attached are housed to be dipped in a clearing agent, a holder ( 11 ) having a cover slip ( 10 ) and cover slip information ( 14 ), a mounting part (C) on which the holder is mounted, a sticking part (B) sticking the cover slip ( 10 ) taken out from the holder ( 11 ) on the slide glass ( 22 ), a reading unit ( 62 ) reading the cover slip information ( 14 ), a storage unit ( 65 ) storing a type of the clearing agent and matching information between types of clearing agents and types of cover slips and a determination unit ( 66 ) comparing the cover slip information ( 14 ) read by the reading unit ( 62 ) and the type of the clearing agent stored in the storage unit ( 65 ) with the matching information to determine whether the types match with each other or not.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A holder holding a cover slip as a cover film or a cover glass,
 wherein cover slip information is recorded on a surface of the holder or stored in a cover slip storage unit provided to the holder.   
     
     
         2 . The holder holding a cover slip according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the cover slip information comprises at least:
 1) a type of the cover slip held therein; 
 2) whether a sealing agent is applied to the cover slip; and 
 3) if a sealing agent is applied to the cover slip, a type of the sealing agent. 
   
     
     
         3 . The holder holding a cover slip according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the cover slip information contains an initial value of a cover slip amount including a length or the number of cover slips held in the holder.   
     
     
         4 . The holder holding a cover slip according to  claim 3 ,
 wherein the cover slip storage unit is capable of rewriting stored data, and   wherein the cover slip information contains a remaining amount of the cover slip held in the holder.   
     
     
         5 . The holder holding a cover slip according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the cover slip information contains an expiration date of the cover slip.
