These are great trays and I wish I had more of them. The have a clear plastic locking lid that keeps the slides in and the dust out. I however am stuck with Ektagraphic III's , though they are fine projectors. I use them with a three projector dissolve controller which interfaces with my computer. To do this with Leica would be just too expensive.
