Support for analysing by microscope a liquid-based biological substance and system comprising such a support and a microscope

Abstract

The support comprises an object-carrying slide () and a cover glass () secured by lines of adhesive () peripherally defining individual compartments () for receiving a sample of the biological substance; characterised in that the upper face () of the object-carrying slide is bare and uncovered over at least one front marginal region () and at least one rear marginal region (), each having an extension in the front-rear direction equal to at least 2.5 mm and an extension in the left-right direction equal to at least the distance between the respective axes of the two individual compartments furthest apart from one another. The system comprises the support () and a microscope for enclosing the support between a stage and a support plate provided with fingers, the distal ends of which are in contact with the marginal regions () exclusively.
