• said body section including a plurality of optically-clear open-topped cups each having side, bottom, and end walls;
• said cups being arranged in a longitudinal series with the end walls of adjacent cups being disposed in spaced-apart relation;
• said side and end walls of said cups being planar and said end walls of each pair of adjacent cups being joined by a thin vertical web formed integrally with said cups;
• each web being spaced inwardly from said side walls of said adjacent cups and extending at substantially right angles to said end walls of said adjacent cups;
• said cover section extending horizontally and being secured to said cups to seal the open upper ends thereof.
