    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.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for determining a property of a bodily sample using a microscope and optical-density-measurement apparatus, the apparatus including a sample carrier that includes a plurality of microscopy sample chambers configured to receive a first portion of the sample and to facilitate imaging of the first portion of the sample by the microscope, each of the microscopy sample chambers having an upper and a lower surface, and having respective heights between the upper and lower surfaces that are different from each other. The sample carrier includes at least one optical-density-measurement chamber configured to receive a second portion of the sample, and to facilitate optical density measurements being performed optical-density-measurement apparatus upon the second portion of the sample. Other applications are also described.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for determining a property of a biological sample. A sample carrier includes a glass substrate configured to define a first surface of a sample chamber that is configured to receive the sample, and a plastic substrate configured to define a second surface of the sample chamber. The height of the sample chamber at each location within the sample chamber is defined by a gap between the first surface and the second surface. An adhesive adheres the glass substrate to the plastic substrate. The plastic substrate is shaped such that the sample chamber defines a first region and a second region, with the sample chamber defining a predefined variation in height between the first region and the second region. Other applications are also described.
