An assembly of stacked modular containers for handling, transporting and storing microscope specimen slides is described. The side walls of the rectangular-shaped containers have slide interconnections so that the containers may be longitudinally slid relative to one another. A releasable locking arrangement is provided on the extension of one of the other container walls to prevent unwarranted longitudinal sliding movement of the containers and to retain them in a secured stack formation. The extension of the container wall is made flexible to enable manual disengagement of locking members on the extension to thereby allow the sliding of containers for insertion or removal of slides into and from the containers.

1. An assembly of modular containers for handling, transporting and storing microscope specimen slides, the containers being stacked when assembled, each said container comprising:a rectangular shaped body having opposite front and rear end walls, opposite side walls and a bottom wall defining a receptacle area to receive a specimen slide therein; engaging means on said opposite side walls enabling inter-engagement of said body with superposed and underposed similarly constructed bodies; said engaging means allowing said bodies to be longitudinally slid relative to one another; locking means integral with one of said end walls of said body adapted to contact corresponding locking means on said upperposed and underposed bodies to prevent said bodies from unwarranted longitudinal sliding movement relative to one another; and means allowing release of said locking means to thereby allow said bodies to be manually slid relative to one another for insertion or removal of slides into and from said bodies.
