A cell analysis system comprising:
- a collector for collecting a spatially arranged cell sample from a target tissue onto a non-planar surface of the collector;
- and
- an analyzer that examines the cell sample for abnormal cells while the cell sample remains on the non-planar surface of the collector.
A cell analysis system comprising:
- a collector for collecting a spatially arranged cell sample from a target tissue;
- and
