Abstract: Currently, microscope stage has controllable by An automated slide system is disclosed which organizes
manual. In medical laboratory, the specimen slide examination microscope slides in cassettes, automatically and positioned
system processes one at a time for microscopic examination. each slide under the microscope as provided by the protocol,
The main objective of this study is to develop a two-dimension and after examination returns the slide to its proper cassette
automatic microscope moving stage. This equipment is designed [3]. A slot configured for holding slides in spaced parallel
by microcontroller PIC 16F874 using stepping motor as configuration using the mechanism for removing and
horizontal feed mechanism. There are three function modes, the
replacing a slide housed. A feed arm containing a
first one is manual, the second is automatic scan specimen
which transfers the specimen slide onto a microscope stage
longitudinal to draw-out spring wire surrounding an
which has controllable X and Y axis positioning to move the imaginary longitudinal axis having at the first end and a
specimen slide into the optical viewing field of the microscope second end, the first and second end being bent orthogonal
and examination over the desired area of the specimen and the to one another and to the imaginary longitudinal axis of said
last one is to examine specimen slides may be automatically draw-out spring wire, said longitudinal draw-out spring wire
returned to the microscope stage for reexamination. The result being positioned in said longitudinal channel in said feed
of this study can be concluded that the accuracy of this arm such that bent ends protrude from the channel and
equipment for reexamination the specimen slide is 86.03 % wherein said longitudinal draw-out spring wire is
accuracy. operatively positioned in said longitudinal channel such that
the draw-out spring wire is rotatable therein, allowing for
