Abstract
A laboratory sample distribution system is presented. The laboratory sample distribution system comprises an optical inspection device adapted to optically inspect items that need to be optically inspected, at least one mirror device, a driver adapted to move the items to be optically inspected and to move the at least one mirror device, and a control device configured to move an item to be optically inspected relative to the optical inspection device by controlling the driver such that a field of view of the optical inspection device is extended.
Claims17
A laboratory sample distribution system, the laboratory sample distribution system comprising:
- a transport plane;
- an optical inspection device adapted to optically inspect items that need to be optically inspected;
- at least one mirror device used to view portions of the items that need to be optically inspected that would not be visible without the at least one mirror device;
- a driver adapted to move the items that need to be optically inspected independently from the at least one mirror device on the transport plane;
- and
- a control device configured to move an item that needs to be optically inspected relative to the optical inspection device by controlling the driver.
