    摘要: An arrangement and method are provided for determining the distance between an objective of a microscope and a sample examined with the microscope. Fitted on the objective or in the immediate vicinity of the objective is a capacitive sensor in whose measuring range the sample and/or a microscope slide supporting the sample is located or into which it can be brought. The sample and/or the slide causing a measurable change in the capacitance of the sensor. From the change in the capacitance of the sensor, the distance of the sample and/or of the microscope slide from the sensor is determined, and thus the distance of the sample from the objective. A capacitive distance sensor can be applied in such an arrangement by which a stray field can be generated between at least two electrodes. The capacitance experiences a measurable change owing to an object introduced into the stray field. The electrodes of the sensor are arranged as substantially coaxial lateral surfaces. The electrodes are designed such that the sensor can be plugged onto the objective of the microscope, the lateral surfaces at least partially enclosing and touching the objective.

    摘要: The object of the invention is a method and an apparatus for optical measurement of a surface profile of a specimen, a series of n images of the specimen being acquired with an image acquisition apparatus in different planes in the z direction of a coordinate system (x, y, z). The image contents of all n images of the resulting image stack are compared to each other in the z direction at each coordinate point (x, y) in order to determine a plane therefrom according to predetermined criteria, assign its plane number (N) to that coordinate point (x, y), and store it in a mask image. The mask image contains all the 3D data of the specimen surface. Processing can be performed using 2D image processing procedures. The 3D information can be quickly and easily retrieved from the mask image. The surface profile can be reconstructed and displayed three-dimensionally.

    摘要: A specimen slide unit for holding a specimen that is to be examined under a microscope or analyzed with a laboratory analysis system includes a specimen slide, a data carrier device and a signal element. The data carrier device has a radio frequency identification tag that can be read out and/or written on using Phase Jitter Modulation so as to switch a communication carrier frequency between two predefinable communication carrier frequencies. The signal element can be activated so as to assist an operator in following a predefinable processing sequence including a second specimen slide unit when the RFID tag is in a range of action of the read/write device. The signal element can be a visual or an acoustic signal element.
