Claims8
A clamping and aligning device for securely attaching a fluidic chip to a tissue sample, the device comprising:
- a base member;
- a chip holder, configured to receive a fluidic chip and to allow the fluidic chip to contact a tissue sample of interest;
- a tissue aligner configured to align a substrate to which the tissue sample of interest is attached along at least one alignment axis;
- a clamping mechanism configured to apply a variable amount of clamping force to the fluidic chip to clamp the fluidic chip to the tissue sample of interest, when the fluidic chip and the tissue sample of interest are mounted in the clamping and aligning device, wherein:
- the clamping and aligning device defines a light-transmitting path from a first side of the clamping and aligning device to a second side of the clamping and aligning device, and
- the light-transmitting path passes through a first opening in the base member, a second opening in the clamping mechanism, and the tissue sample of interest, when the tissue sample of interest is mounted in the clamping and aligning device.
