Fig. 14S. Waste bowl with rack for supporting slides and a small funnel in 

 which the slides stand while draining. This outfit is easily made by any tinsmith. 

 The rack is composed of two brass rods about 4 mm. in diameter. The bent end 

 pieces are sheet lead. The funnel is made of tin, copper or brass. Either copper 

 or brass is preferable to tin. A glass dish like that shown in Fig. 160 is better than 

 a bowl, as it can be more readily and thoroughly cleaned. (Cut loaned by Wm. 

 Wood & Co. ) 



Fig. 149. Round glass aquarium. This glass vessel is better than the bowl 

 for all the uses described for the bowl. ( Whilall, Tatum & Co.) 



Fig. 150. Glass box or ointment jar with cover. These boxes may be had of 

 various sizes and can be used advantageously J or water, and for cleaning mixture 

 for slides and cover glasses ((! 242). ( Whilall, Tatum & Co. ) 



Fig. 151. Section lifter. This is of thin, springy, flexible metal placed in a 

 handle as shown. These are made of various sizes for large or small sections. Such 

 an instrument is exceedingly helpful in handling loose sections. (Queen & Co. )
