Abstract: Apparatus for automatically digitizing slides, the apparatus including a slide feed assembly (2), at least one digitizing and input station (D), and a reception assembly (2') for receiving slides that have been digitized in this way. Each slide feed and reception assembly (2, 2') includes at least one drawer (6) containing a removable magazine (11) which may be rotationally driven about a vertical axis and including at least one removable slide storage element (12). Transfer systems (14, 21) serve firstly to feed slides from a storage element (12) of the removable magazine (11) to a central turntable (15) which places the slides successively before various workstations including the digitizing and input station (D), and secondly transfer slides after digitizing from the central turntable (15) to a storage element (12) of a removable magazine (11) placed in said reception assembly (2'). The slide feed assembly (2) and the slide reception assembly (2') may be the same assembly.
