Abstract
A sample holder for handling samples to be viewed under a microscope, and which comprises a base frame 1 provided with a lower surface 2, an upper surface 3, and at least one receiving area 4 for at least one sample. In order to facilitate examination of a large number of samples, the sample holder is provided with a coupling area 5 on its upper surface for receiving at least one other functional element, such as a sample fixing element, a heating or cooling plate, or a cover.
Claims23
A sample holder which is adapted for handling samples to be viewed under a microscope, comprising a base frame which includes an underside, an upper surface, and at least one receiving area for at least one sample, and wherein the base frame further includes on its upper surface a coupling area for coupling at least one functional element to the base frame.
A microscope assembly which comprises a microscope and a sample holder which is adapted for handling samples to be viewed under the microscope, said sample holder comprising a base frame which includes an underside, an upper surface, and at least one receiving area for at least one sample, and wherein the base frame further includes on its upper surface a coupling area for coupling at least one functional element to the base frame.
