Abstract
The current invention concerns a sample vial for receiving a liquid cell sample, to be used in conjunction with a digital holographic microscope (DHM), said sample vial comprises at least two compartments in fluid connection with one another, said compartments comprising at least one pair of screening surfaces, said screening surfaces are essentially flat; and characterized in that the distance between the pair of screening surfaces of the second compartment is smaller than the distance between the pair of screening surfaces of the first compartment. In a second and third aspect, the current invention pertains to a method and system for analyzing a liquid cell sample by DHM, employing the sample vial of the current invention.
Claims15
A sample vial for receiving a liquid cell sample, to be used in conjunction with a digital holographic microscope (DHM), wherein said sample vial comprises at least two compartments in fluid connection with one another, wherein the second compartment of the vial forms the base of said vial and said first compartment comprises a column, preferably vertically placed on said second compartment, wherein said compartments comprise at least one pair of screening surfaces, wherein said screening surfaces are essentially flat;
- and wherein the distance between the pair of screening surfaces of the second compartment is smaller than the distance between the pair of screening surfaces of the first compartment.
