Abstract:
A slide processing apparatus controls the temperature and orientation of a microscope slide carrying one or more specimens. The apparatus heats the specimen-bearing microscope slide while the slide is oriented to both facilitate adhesion between the specimens and the slide and control movement of the specimens relative to the microscope slide. A slide dryer of the apparatus conductively heats the specimens using a conductive slide heater that physically engages the microscope slide.

Claim (Index 6):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the transport device is configured to (1) transport the microscope slides from the drying station to the staining station after the specimens are at least partially dried, and (2) transport the microscope slides from the staining station to the cover-slipping station after the specimens are stained.
