Abstract
An apparatus includes a housing, a sample carrier device. The sample carrier device includes samples and is mounted in the housing such that the samples are external to the housing. The apparatus further includes a sample cover mounted to the housing such that the sample cover and the housing enclose the sample carrier device. The apparatus further includes a sensor directed to the sample carrier device. The apparatus further includes a processor and a memory device storing instructions executable by the processor to initiate removal of the sample cover from the sample carrier device. The instructions are further executable by the processor to initiate capture of data by the sensor.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a housing;
- a sample carrier device, including one or more samples, mounted in the housing such that the one or more samples are external to the housing;
- a sample cover mounted to the housing such that the sample cover and the housing enclose the sample carrier device;
- a sensor directed to the sample carrier device;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device storing instructions executable by the processor to:
- initiate removal of the sample cover from the sample carrier device;
- and
- initiate capture of data by the sensor.
A method comprising:
- initiating, at an apparatus including a sample carrier device, removal of a sample cover from the sample carrier device, wherein the sample carrier device includes samples and is mounted in a housing such that the samples are external to the housing;
- and
- initiating capture of sensor data associated with the sample carrier device by a sensor directed to the sample carrier device.
A computer readable storage device storing instructions executable by a processor to:
- initiate, at an apparatus including a sample carrier device, removal of a sample cover from the sample carrier device, wherein the sample carrier device includes samples and is mounted in a housing such that the samples are external to the housing;
- and
- initiate capture of sensor data associated with the sample carrier device by a sensor directed to the sample carrier device.
