Abstract

An apparatus for analyzing liquid specimens, the device comprising at least one specimen handling station for obtaining preparation on a specimen carrying device, and an imaging station fitted with an optical image capturing device for analyzing the preparation. A carriage with a specimen carrying device receptacle rotatably retains the specimen carrying device and is displaceable between a loading station and an unloading station with respective positions at the stations. An incremental displacement mechanism for displacing at least one of the specimen carrying device and an imaging device so as to obtain at least one consecutive image of the preparation.
