An apparatus is proposed for identifying respective cover slip regions of respective cover slips having respective tissue sections on a specimen slide, which has multiple optical identifiers. The apparatus includes a planar light source, an image acquisition unit, a holding unit for positioning the specimen slide between the planar light source and the image acquisition unit, a slit diaphragm, which has multiple opening slits, reversibly positionable between the planar light source and the specimen slide, and an illumination unit, which is designed to illuminate that surface of the specimen slide which faces toward the image acquisition unit. Furthermore, the apparatus includes a monitoring unit which is designed, on the basis of a completely illuminated transmitted light image, an incident light image, and a partially darkened transmitted light image, to assign respective tissue sections to respective optical identifiers.

Apparatus and method for detecting coverslip regions of a specimen slide

An incubation device has multiple rocking platforms with each platform pivotally mounted about a respective axis. Each rocking platform has a respective receiving device for mechanically reversibly receiving a respective incubation channel. The device also has a common drive unit for common respective rocking movements of each platform from a zero position through with a specific angle range as a result of movement of the drive unit. Each rocking platform is coupled to the drive unit via a respective coupling mechanism, and each coupling mechanism elastically and resiliently couples the respective rocking platform to the drive unit, such that when the rocking platform is restrained, despite continuation of the drive movement, the rocking platform remains motionless in a fixed position. After release of the restraint on the rocking platform, the rocking platform resumes the rocking movement with the specific angle range.

Apparatus for doctors, hospitals and laboratories

The invention relates to a device for performing immunological, histochemical and cytochemical, molecular biological, enzymological, clinical-chemical and other analyzes, wherein the device comprises an object holder having one or more elongate adhesive surfaces and a reagent holder having one or several channels. The object holder is detachably connectable to the reagent holder in such a manner that the elongate adhesive surfaces each face one of the channels and, when reaction partners bound to a solid phase are disposed on the elongate adhesive surfaces and reactants dissolved in liquid are present in the channels, the reaction partners and the reactants are in contact. Means are provided for preventing the liquid from passing from one channel into an adjacent channel. A method for performing a corresponding analysis can be performed with this device, by connecting the object holder to the reagent holder in such a manner that the elongate adhesive surfaces each face a channel, liquid having reactants dissolved therein is introduced into the channels such that the solid phase substrates having reaction partners bound thereto and being disposed on the adhesive surfaces come into contact with the liquid, and the object holder and the reagent holder are moved together in such a manner that the liquid alternately moves into the two longitudinal directions of the channels.
