Traveling with Microscope Slides

I am flying AA to NYC tomorrow to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and I've been asked to hand carry some microscope slides to bring to our appointment.
I am wondering if I will have any trouble getting them though security and wondering if anyone had any experience with this or suggestions or help.
It is a small plastic box, about 3"x5" with 25 slides inside.
I guess at the worst I'd be forced to check my carry-on with the slides inside and hope for the best. Really don't want to risk them not getting there or being damaged.
Thanks!
