A bead mill and an associated bead-mill-based machine for testing mechanical fragility of red blood cells, employing a cartridge configured to contain a sample while cells get stressed via bead oscillation and, in the case of the fragility testing machine, also while lysis levels get detected, for presentation of fragility information.

Bead mill and method of use

An endoscope assembly includes a housing having an outwardly extending tube with the free end adapted for insertion into a body cavity. A laser is contained within the housing which emits an output beam through the free end of the tube. A light sensor detects light in a predetermined color range which impinges upon the free end of the tube and generates an output signal representative thereof. A circuit disables the laser in response to the output signal from the light sensor.
