Abstract: A holder for storing a specimen tray with a removable cover member includes a frame with oppositely facing first and second access openings The first access opening receives the specimen tray and cover member. The holder supports the specimen tray and cover member within the storage area between a pair of oppositely spaced tray support ledges. The second access opening receives an external member that moves vertically in the storage area to lift the specimen tray from the tray support ledges and that moves horizontally out of the storage area to move the lifted specimen tray from the storage area through the second access opening. The holder pivots the cover member away from the specimen tray to retain the cover member in a tilted orientation within the storage area free of the removed specimen tray until its return.
