    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for use with a blood sample are described. The blood sample is stained with a first dye that predominantly stains DNA, and a second dye that stains at least one other cellular component being different from DNA. A plurality of images of the blood sample are acquired. A candidate object is identified as being a candidate of a given entity. A first stained area, which is stained by the first dye and which is disposed within the candidate object, is identified. A second stained area, which is stained by the second dye and which is disposed within the candidate object, is identified. The entity is detected by determining that features of the stained areas satisfy predetermined criteria associated with the entity. Other applications are also described.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for use with a digital microscope unit that includes a digital microscope. A biological cell sample that is disposed within a sample carrier is received into the digital microscope unit. It is determined that there is a variation in the focal depth of the biological sample with respect to the microscope due to curvature in the sample carrier and/or due to tolerance in setup of the microscope. In response to determining that there is the variation in the focal depth of the biological sample with respect to the microscope, the variation in the focal depth of the biological sample with respect to the microscope is accounted for. Other applications are also described.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for determining a property of a bodily sample using a microscope are described. A sample carrier includes a plurality of microscopy sample chambers configured to receive a least a portion of the bodily sample, while the sample is imaged by the microscope. Each of the microscopy sample chambers has an upper and a lower surface, and the microscopy sample chambers have respective heights between the upper and lower surfaces that are different from each other. The sample carrier defines a microscopy sample chamber inlet hole, that is fluid communication with all of the microscopy sample chambers, such as to facilitate filling of all of the microscopy sample chambers with the portion of the bodily sample, via the microscopy sample chamber inlet hole. Other applications are also described.
