    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for use with a cell sample that includes a plurality of cells disposed in a monolayer. A series of images associated with a series of depth levels of the cell sample are acquired, by performing a depth scan of cell sample with a microscope. One of the depth levels is identified as being an optimum focal plane for imaging one or more entities within the cell sample using the microscope, by identifying that a drop in image contrast occurs at the identified depth level relative to the image contrast of images acquired at depth levels within a given range of distances from the identified depth level. The cell sample is imaged using the microscope, by focusing the microscope at an investigative depth level that is based on the identified depth level. Other applications are also described.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for use with a blood sample. Using a microscope (24), three images of a microscopic imaging field of the blood sample are acquired, each of the images being acquired using respective, different imaging conditions, and the first one of the three images being acquired under violet-light brightfield imaging. Using at least one computer processor (28), an artificial color microscopic image of the microscopic imaging field is generated, by mapping the first one of the three images to a red channel of the artificial color microscopic image, mapping a second one of the three images to a second color channel of the artificial color microscopic image, and mapping a third one of the three images to a third color channel of the artificial color microscopic image. Other applications are also described.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for use with a blood sample and a display, including acquiring a plurality of images of a microscopic imaging field of the blood sample, each of the images being acquired using respective, different imaging conditions. An artificial color microscopic display image of the microscopic imaging field is generated having a similar appearance to that of a color smear image, by mapping the plurality of images to respective channels of the artificial color microscopic display image. A display is driven to display the artificial color microscopic display image of the microscopic imaging field to a user. 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. A sample carrier includes a microscopy sample chamber configured to receive a first portion of the sample and to facilitate imaging of the first portion of the sample by the microscope, and an optical-density-measurement chamber configured to receive a second portion of the sample, and to facilitate optical density measurements being performed by the optical-density-measurement apparatus upon the second portion of the sample. The sample carrier includes an upper surface and a lower surface. At least one of the upper surface and the lower surface of the sample carrier is defined by a glass sheet, and the other surface is defined by a molded component. Other applications are also described.
