Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of scanners, and in particular to a glass slide lens oil recovery device. Background Technology

[0002] When scanning with a 63x or 100x objective lens, approximately 240 microliters of specialized lens oil per sheet must be applied to the slide to meet the requirements. Currently, the traditional method for handling non-drying lens oil (oil immersion) on fully automated scanners in laboratories is to cover the oil droplet with lens paper and drag it to absorb the oil, thus removing the lens oil from the slide. The slide specimen is then specially stored in the laboratory because it contains stained biological samples requiring identification, such as cells and chromosomes. These slides with attached biological samples need to be stored for more than a year (possibly longer depending on the situation). Slides that need to be disposed of upon expiration are collected by a qualified waste disposal company from the hospital for centralized waste disposal. Any lens oil remaining on the slide that cannot be completely recovered is also thoroughly disposed of. However, the lens oil absorbed by the lens paper cannot be recycled and reused. Simply throwing the lens paper with absorbed lens oil into the trash can also pollutes the environment, as lens oil contains chemical components. Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent a device that facilitates the recovery of lens oil. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a glass slide lens oil recovery device that can solve the above problems.

[0004] A slide lens oil recovery device, comprising:

[0005] The housing includes a bottom surface and multiple side walls, the multiple side walls and the bottom surface forming a receiving cavity, the top of the receiving cavity having an opening, at least two opposing side walls having opposing slots on their inner surfaces, the inner surface of the bottom surface being inclined, and the two ends of the glass slide being inserted into the opposing slots during use.

[0006] Optionally, the slot extends vertically, with a groove bottom at one end near the bottom surface and a first groove opening at the other end away from the bottom surface;

[0007] The slot has a second notch facing the opposite sidewall.

[0008] Optionally, the slots are multiple, and the multiple slots are distributed at intervals on opposite sidewalls;

[0028] refer to Figures 1 to 3 This invention provides a lens oil recovery device for glass slides, comprising a housing 1, which includes a bottom surface and multiple side walls. The side walls and the bottom surface form a receiving cavity 13, the top of which has an opening. At least two opposite side walls have opposing slots 11 on their inner surfaces, and the inner surface of the bottom surface is inclined. In use, both ends of a glass slide are inserted into the opposing slots 11. The two ends of a glass slide with lens oil attached are horizontally inserted and secured into the opposing slots 11, allowing the glass slide to be suspended inside the housing 1, so that the lens oil on the glass slide flows naturally to the bottom surface, facilitating the recovery of the lens oil.

[0029] In this embodiment, the housing 1 can be made of stainless steel or glass. The outer contour of the housing 1 is cuboid, and the cuboid housing 1 has a top and a bottom, two opposite side walls and two left and right end faces. The length, width and height of the cuboid housing 1 can be selected as 148mm, 80mm and 68mm.

[0030] Specifically, the slot 11 extends vertically, with a groove bottom at one end near the bottom surface and a first groove opening at the other end away from the bottom surface; the slot 11 also has a second groove opening facing the opposite sidewall. In one embodiment, the upper part of the inner surface of the two opposite sidewalls of the cuboid shell 1 has multiple slots 11, which are spaced apart on the opposite sidewalls; the number and spacing of the slots 11 on the opposite sidewalls are equal. In another embodiment, the upper part of the two opposite sidewalls of the cuboid shell 1 is provided with plates 12 protruding from the sidewalls, and multiple opposing slots 11 are provided on the two plates 12, which are spaced apart on the opposite plates 12; the number of slots 11 on the opposite plates 12 is equal, and the second groove openings of the opposing slots 11 face each other. The size of the slot 11 is adapted to the size of the glass slide, such as a slot width of 1.4 mm. There are multiple slots 11. For example, there are 40 slots 11 in total. The slots 11 are arranged in pairs opposite each other on the plate 12 that protrudes from the side wall. At this time, a maximum of 20 slides can be inserted.

[0031] In one embodiment, the vertical direction of the bottom surface's inclination is parallel to the two opposite sidewalls where the slots 11 are provided. The two ends of the slide are horizontally inserted into the opposite slots 11, with the vertical direction of the bottom surface's inclination perpendicular to the slide. In another embodiment, the vertical direction of the bottom surface's inclination is parallel to and perpendicular to the two opposite sidewalls where the slots 11 are provided. The two ends of the slide are horizontally inserted into the opposite slots 11, with the vertical direction of the bottom surface's inclination parallel to the slide.

[0032] In this embodiment, the bottom surface is tilted at an angle of 7 degrees, which can be understood as the bottom surface forming a 7-degree angle with the tilted base surface. In one embodiment, a receiving groove 15 is formed on the tilted base surface of the bottom surface, and the receiving groove 15 is funnel-shaped. The guide channel 14 is connected to the receiving groove 15. The lens oil on the slide flows naturally onto the tilted bottom surface and into the receiving groove 15. The receiving groove 15 is used to receive and store the flowing lens oil, making it convenient to use a suction tube to remove the lens oil for subsequent professional harmless treatment and filtration, thereby achieving the reuse of the lens oil, reducing waste, and reducing the pollution of the lens oil to the environment.

[0033] like Figure 4 It also includes a cover 2, which is placed on top. The cover 2 covers the opening on the top of the housing 1, and the cover 2 is detachably connected to the housing 1.

[0034] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the bottom surface in the inclined direction is "V" shaped, and the lens oil on the slide naturally flows to the bottom surface of the "V" shape. Since the inner surface of the bottom surface is inclined, the lens oil flows to the inclined base surface of the bottom surface, which facilitates the recycling of the lens oil.

[0035] In another embodiment, the cross-section of the bottom surface in the inclined direction is an inverted isosceles trapezoid. The lens oil on the slide flows naturally onto the bottom surface of the inverted isosceles trapezoid. Due to the inclined inner surface of the bottom surface, the lens oil flows towards the inclined base surface, thus achieving lens oil recovery. In this embodiment, a guide groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the inverted isosceles trapezoid. The guide groove 14 extends from one end of the bottom surface to the other end along the inclined direction, which facilitates the guidance of a small amount of lens oil.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
