Abstract
A system for analyzing a large number of biological specimens, where the specimens are positioned in a rotatably mounted disc at receiving locations. Two electromagnetic transmitters are positioned to direct electromagnetic waves from lasers to a monitoring location to contact selected specimens and thus form a modified wave resulting from contact with said specimens. The modified wave is transmitted to an analyzing section.
Claims11
A system for analyzing specimens, such as biological specimens, comprising:
- a) a specimen support having a plurality of receiving locations to receive and support biological specimens and being moveable to locate each support location with its related specimen at a specimen monitoring location;
- b) at least one transmitter arranged to transmit an electromagnetic wave or waves to said monitoring location to have contact with said specimen at the monitoring location, with this causing a modified wave or waves resulting from said contact;
- c) a modified wave receiving and detecting section to receive said modified wave or waves;
A method for analyzing specimens, such as biological specimens, said method comprising:
- a) depositing a plurality of specimens on a support having a plurality of receiving locations to receive said specimens at support locations;
- b) moving said support to various positions to locate selected receiving locations at a monitoring location;
- c) transmitting an electromagnetic wave or waves toward said monitoring location to have contact with the specimen at the monitoring location to cause a modified wave or wave forms resulting from said contact to be formed;
- d) receiving said modified wave or waves and directing these to a receiving and detecting section.
