Abstract
The invention relates to an optical recording and/or reading unit particularly suitable for scanning, preferably, a biological sample (1). Substantially, the unit comprises an optical unit (4) and/or a scanning unit (12) and also comprises a control arrangement (10) and at least one adjustment unit (6, 7, 8; 13, 14) loaded by an operator and comprising at least one adjusting element (7, 14). According to the invention, the movements of said adjusting element (7, 14) are evaluated by the control arrangement (10) and generate at least one feedback signal for the operator in the case when one or several values of a predefined threshold are attained or exceeded.
Claims10
1:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit, particularly for scanning a preferably biological sample (1), having an optical unit (11) and/or a scanning unit (12), furthermore having a control system (10) and at least one adjustment unit (6, 7, 8;
- 13, 14) on which an operator can act, having at least one operating element (7, 14), wherein
- the operating element (7, 14) is mechanically uncoupled from the adjustment unit (6, 7, 8;
- 13, 14), whereby
- movements of the operating element (7, 14) are evaluated by the control system (10), and, if one or more predetermined threshold values are reached and/or exceeded, they produce at least one feedback signal for the operator.
2:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit according to claim 1, wherein the feedback signals for the operator are tactile and/or acoustical and/or optical operator stimuli.
3:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit according to claim 1, wherein a manipulation unit (16, 17;
- 18, 19;
- 20, 21) is assigned to the operating element (7, 14), which changes its movements and/or its movement speed when the threshold value is reached and/or exceeded.
4:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit according to claim 1, wherein the manipulation unit (16, 17;
- 18, 19;
- 20, 21) is equipped as a braking unit (16, 17;
- 18, 19) and/or coasting unit (20, 21).
5:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit according to claim 1, wherein the operating element (7, 14) has a vibration unit.
(canceled)
7:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit according to claim 1, wherein the operating element (7, 14) has at least one sensor (9, 15) that detects its movements and transmits them to the control system (10) for evaluation.
8:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit according to claim 1, wherein the control system (10) has an input unit 22 in order to preset at least one threshold value on the operator side.
9:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit according to claim 1, wherein the threshold values are stored in the memory of the control system (10), and queried as needed, in each instance, and converted into operator stimuli as soon as the operating element (7, 14) reaches and/or exceeds the threshold value, in each instance.
10:
- Optical recording and/or reproduction unit according to claim 1, wherein different threshold values are automatically preset, depending on the process initiated by the control system (10) for recording images and/or reproducing images.
