Fig. 148. 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. ( Whitall, Tatum & Co. ) 



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

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

 for slides and cover glasses (\ 242). ( Whitall, 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.)
