A device for cutting off one or more sample regions from a sample carrier that contains impregnated sample material, e.g. blood, is described. The device includes: a cutting unit () for cutting off the one or more sample regions from the sample carrier, an optical imaging unit () for producing an electronic image of the sample carrier, and a processor () for controlling a display screen () to display the image () and one or more indicators (') each expressing the location of one sample region to be cut off. Thus, an operator of the device is enabled to monitor, without direct visual communication to the sample carrier, what region or regions of the sample carrier is/are to be cut off. As no direct visual communication with the sample carrier is needed, the working ergonomics of the operator can be improved.
