ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for automatic diagnosis of cells comprises a microscope, a scanning stage on the microscope, a sample carrier used to feed a sample to the scanning stage automatically, an automatic focussing mechanism, a detector assembly for detecting the light absorbance of the sample, and computation means. The computation means controls the operation of the components mentioned and automatically performs the processing of data obtained from the detector assembly, whereby the overall operation from the supply of cells to the diagnostic determination thereof is fully automated.
