Abstract
A control system for a slide centrifuge includes a ratio checking circuit which produces a signal when the ratio between the light passing through the slide and the rate of change of this light passes through a predetermined critical value. When this ratio passes through the critical value, spinning is stopped. This effectively stops spinning when the rate of reduction of blood cell density on the slide slows, thereby producing better slides for clinical analysis.
