Are these cabinets useful for odd-sized slides?  I have a decent size collection of histological slides that are often wider than standard microscope slides. I cannot tell from the website photos whether large slides can be fit into these trays - do the tabs on the trays fold down or can they be removed?

Thanks!

Dirk,
I meant to check; thanks for the prompt.
The version we have has 604 trays, each holding 72 regular microscope slides, for a total of 43 488 slides.
I know that this tray version was an improvement from the previous, so they may have found a way to increase the number of slides stored per tray and per cabinets.
Cheers,
Jean-Marc

Hi Jean-Marc,

... if I am not wrong, it can hold up to 56K slides (depending on the size of the slides) ...

With best wishes

Vanessa,
After seeing the large, two-door Delta Slide Cabinet in use at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science in 2017, we obtained one in 2018-19 and we are very satisfied with it. It can house in the vicinity of 40K regular slides and allows for great access.
We used a lot of Eberbach single and quad cabinets (not all slides have been transferred into the Delta cabinet yet). Other than wanting to move away for the mess of having so many smaller wooden cabinets all over our collections, we were also concerned with the long-term effect of acidic vapour. A bryozoan collection originally housed in one of those now has many specimens "suffering" from Bynesian Decay.
Delta's small slide cabinet version, as show on the webpage Dirk indicated below, looks very interesting for smaller slide collections.

Hi all,

Here at the Tromsø Museum, we are looking at new storage possibilities for our microscope slides. I have been checking online for solutions, but we have not found one that we have liked. Can anyone (especially in Scandinavia or Europe) share what kind of storage/cupboard(s) they use and where they were bought from.

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Vanessa
