ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for capturing an image of a sample retained by a sample acquiring device, comprises an image capturing unit comprising a lens arrangement with a fixed focal plane, a sample holder comprising a first magnet unit, and a second magnet unit. The sample holder is adapted to receive the sample acquiring device and is movable in relation to the lens arrangement to a first position. The sample holder is movable from the first position to a second position by means of magnetic interaction of the first magnet unit and the second magnet unit, and the image capturing unit is adapted to capture an image of the sample by means of the lens arrangement when the sample holder is in the second position.
