Abstract

An analyzer is disclosed for optical analysis of a biological specimen. In at least one embodiment, the analyzer includes optics which includes a camera, intermediate optics and front optics. The intermediate optics is movably arranged and the front optics is fixedly arranged. An analyzer for optical analysis of a biological specimen, in at least one embodiment includes a robot for transporting a slide to be analyzed. The robot is controlled by at least three motors to allow movement of the robot in three dimensions. The robot includes a handling device configured to grip the slide.

Claims (6)

1. An analyser for optical analysis of a biological specimen, comprising:

a robot for transporting a sample on a slide to be analysed, the robot being controlled by at least three motors to allow movement of the robot in three dimensions, the robot having a handling device configured to grip the slide, at least two of the motors being arranged to move along respective screws, wherein at least one screw is fixedly arranged in one of its ends and freely arranged in its other end, and the handling device comprises a sensor which is arranged to alert if the handling device is completely closed.

2. The analyser according to claim 1 , wherein at least one screw is stationary.

3. The analyser according to claim 1 , wherein the freely arranged end of the screw is the one closest to where the optical analysis is performed.

4. The analyser according to claim 1 , wherein the handling device ( 4 ) is configured to open by means of a motor and to close by means of a spring.

5. The analyser according to claim 1 , wherein the movement of the robot in at least one of the dimensions is configured to be executed by means of a linear actuator.
