Abstract

The invention relates to an image acquisition system (1) for acquiring an image of a liquid sample (2), comprising a well (3) that stores liquid sample (2), an image acquisition device (4) for acquiring an image of the liquid sample (2) in the well (3), a lid device (5) for covering the well (3) wherein the lid device (5) comprises a lid (6) having a lid part (7) and a lid extension (8) that extends from the lid part (7) into the well (3). The image acquisition system is characterized in that at least one part of the lid extension (8) is in physical contact with the liquid sample (2) when an image is acquired by means of the image acquisition device (4) and a light beam passes through the part of the lid extension (8) that is in physical contact with the liquid sample (2) before it is received by the image acquisition device (4).
