  In order to prepare a preparation from a specimen such as pathological tissue taken out from the patient's body, first, the taken out specimen is placed in a fluid-permeable container called a cassette and treated with various medicines, then this is blocked with paraffin etc. And slice in a microtome. Furthermore, the exfoliated sample is placed on a slide glass, subjected to visualization processing such as staining, and a cover glass is attached to prepare a preparation.

  At this time, patient information is often printed on both the cassette and the slide glass in order to prevent misidentification of samples. In a large hospital or other facility that processes a large amount of samples, the cassette is printed using a laser printer etc., and a label with patient information printed on the slide glass is attached or printed using an inkjet printer .

  In addition, as a laser marker which can be printed on a cassette, for example, a hybrid laser marker MD X 1000 (trade name, manufactured by Keyence) is known. As a printer for a label to be attached to a slide glass, for example, Business Inkjet PX-105 (trade name, manufactured by Epson) is known. Such a printer can also be linked with data in a personal computer, so that data such as patient names managed by the personal computer can be printed on a cassette or a slide glass.

  However, when working in a narrow place such as a small-scale inspection facility, it may be difficult to install two markers and a printer for cassettes and slide glass. In such a case, one cassette and one There is a need for a marker or printer that can print on both sides of a slide glass.

  In view of such circumstances, the present inventor has completed the present invention as a result of earnest studies on printing of both a cassette and a slide glass with a single marker.

It is explanatory drawing which shows the usage method of the slide glass printing stand of this invention, (a) is the state which stacked the slide glass tray, (b) is the state which slid the slide glass tray.

The slide glass tray 1 of the present invention is stacked in a slide glass printing table as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 and is capable of storing a plurality of slide glasses 3,
A groove 1e extending in the longitudinal direction of the slide glass 3 to be stored is provided,
A projection 1f is provided at a position corresponding to the groove 1e of the stacked glass tray,
The sliding direction and sliding distance of the slide glass trays 1 are controlled by the projection 1 f sliding in the groove 1 e.

In the slide glass printing table 2 of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the end portions 3a (see FIG. 1) of a plurality of stacked slide glasses 3 are mounted at predetermined intervals. To place and
The present invention is characterized in that a plurality of steps 2a having a height corresponding to one slide glass 3 or one slide glass tray 1 capable of storing the slide glass 3 are provided at regular intervals.

Although the slide glass tray 1 and the slide glass printing table 2 described above can be used alone, respectively, it is preferable to use them in combination.
That is, the slide glass printing table 2 of the present invention is characterized in that the slide glass printing table 2 is stacked in the slide glass printing table 2 in a state where the slide glass 3 is stored in the slide glass tray 1.

  The slide glass 3 used in the present invention is a so-called frosted slide glass in which a fine resin particle is attached to one end 3a of a glass slide glass to form a frosted portion 3b, and the frosted portion 3b is formed by a writing tool. It is configured to be able to write letters. There are white, yellow, pink, blue, orange and the like as the color of the commercially available frosted part.

  The laser marker used in the present invention is a device for imprinting characters or the like on a resin or metal work, and can be exemplified by, for example, "PiTLASER 40" (trade name, manufactured by Murasumi Kogyo Co., Ltd.). Such a laser marker is used for printing on a cassette in pathological examination, but is also used for printing on the slide glass 3 in the present invention.

  The slide glass tray 1 of the present invention is configured such that several slide glass trays 1 are stacked while being shifted at constant intervals, and frosted portions 3b of the slide glass 3 can be arranged in a matrix. As a result, the frosted portion 3b of the slide glass 3 is arranged all over the printing range of the laser marker so that printing can be performed on a large number of slide glasses 3 at one time, thereby shortening the printing time.

The slide glass tray 1 of the present invention will be described based on FIG.
The slide glass tray 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a plurality of (four in FIG. 1) pockets 1a for fitting the slide glass 3, a recess 1b for floating the slide glass 3 from the pocket 1a, and the pocket 1a It has a finger holder 1 c for taking out the floated slide glass 3. Further, the frosted portion 3b of the slide glass 3 is configured to abut on the colored substrate 1d. Further, the slide glass tray 1 of the present invention is provided with a groove 1e extending in the longitudinal direction of the slide glass 3 and a projection 1f corresponding to the groove 1e.

  More specifically, the slide glass 3 is printed by the laser marker in a state of being fitted into the pocket 1a. In order to remove the slide glass 3 fitted in the pocket 1a, first, one end of the slide glass 3 is pressed from above the recessed portion 1b with a finger to cause the other end to float from the slide glass tray 1, and then the finger is inserted A finger may be attached to the portion 1c to grip the other end of the slide glass 3 which has been lifted.

  In the slide glass tray 1 of the present invention, the colored substrate 1 d can be disposed in a portion in which the frosted portion 3 b of the slide glass 3 abuts. That is, if printing is simply performed on the frosted portion 3b of the slide glass 3 using a normal laser marker, the colored resin is peeled off at the printed portion and becomes transparent. In this case, a transparent character is imprinted in the ground color of the resin, which has a drawback of being difficult to visually recognize, and in particular, when the color of the frost portion 3b is light, it is particularly difficult to visually recognize. In order to eliminate this drawback, the colored substrate 1d may be disposed in contact with the frosted portion 3b. In this way, the laser beam is applied to the frosted portion 3b and at the same time applied to the colored substrate 1d, whereby the dye released by evaporation or sublimation from the colored substrate 1d is engraved on the transparent portion of the frosted portion 3b. Adhere to the part. The resin in the frosted portion 3b is peeled off by this dye to color the imprinted portion that has become transparent, whereby the printing becomes conspicuous and easily visible.

  The material of the colored substrate 1d is not particularly limited as long as it is a material that causes the dye to be released by evaporation, sublimation, or the like by laser light that causes the frosted portion 3b of the slide glass 3 to peel off. Further, in order to further enhance the contrast with the color of frost, a coloring agent can be contained in these resins and rubbers. Examples of such coloring agents include additives added to these resins and rubbers, such as softeners, antiaging agents, fillers, dyes, and pigments.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the slide glass tray 1 of the present invention is characterized in that a groove 1e extending in the longitudinal direction of the slide glass 3 and a projection 1f corresponding to the groove 1e are provided. In the illustrated example, the groove 1e is provided on the upper surface and the projection 1f is provided on the lower surface, but the groove 1e may be provided on the lower surface and the projection 1f may be provided on the upper surface. Both can be provided.

  The grooves 1 e and the projections 1 f are for controlling the sliding direction and distance of the slide glass tray 1 when stacking the plurality of slide glass trays 1. In the illustrated example, the protrusion 1 f provided on the lower surface of another slide glass tray 1 stacked on the other is inserted into a groove 1 e provided on the upper surface of the slide glass tray 1. Therefore, when sliding the upper slide glass tray 1, the sliding direction is controlled in the longitudinal direction of the groove 1e, that is, in the longitudinal direction of the stored slide glass 3. Further, since the projection 1 f sliding in the groove 1 e abuts on the end of the groove 1 e and stops, the sliding distance can be controlled thereby. By controlling the sliding direction and sliding distance of the slide glass tray 1 stacked in this way, only the printing portion (frosted portion 3b of the slide glass 3) is exposed to print the limited laser marker. A large number of slide glasses 3 can be arranged in the possible range.

  As mentioned above, although the method using the slide glass tray 1 was demonstrated as a method for arranging many slide glasses 3 in the printable range of the limited laser marker, as shown in FIG. 4 thru | or FIG. Even if the table 2 is used, a large number of slide glasses 3 can be arranged. Although the slide glass tray 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 can be stored in the slide glass printing table 2 in the example shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the slide glass 3 is directly slid It may be placed on the glass printing table 2.

  The slide glass printing table 2 of the present invention is characterized in that a plurality of steps 2a are provided at a constant interval. The height of the step 2 a may be determined by the method of storing the slide glass 3. For example, when the slide glass 3 is directly stored in the slide glass printing table 2, the height of the step 2a may be set to one slide glass. When the slide glass tray 1 in which the slide glass 3 is fitted is stored in the slide glass printing table 2, the height of the step 2a may be one slide glass tray.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the slide glass 3 or the slide glass tray 1 (in FIG. 6, slide glass tray 1) is stacked on the slide glass printing table 2, and then the slide glass is abutted against the step 2a. If the slide glass tray 3 is slid, a large number of slide glasses 3 can be arranged in the printable area of the laser marker.

  As described above, according to the slide glass tray and slide glass printing table of the present invention, it is possible to print on a slide glass using a laser marker which has been used only for printing of a conventional cassette. In addition, since a large number of slide glasses can be arranged in a printable range of a limited laser marker and can be printed on a large number of slide glasses at one time, it is possible to significantly reduce the time required for printing.
