ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a device (1) for observing reactions in samples (2), to which a reagent (3) is added, and/or a method which is based on the use of this device. The device includes at least one first optical device (4) for observing samples (2) in the direction of a first optical axis (5) and in a first observation region (6) penetrated by the first optical axis; a first device (7) for receiving receptacles (8) containing samples (2) and for aligning samples in these receptacles in relation to the first optical axis (5); and an injection device (10) for adding liquids (3) to samples (2) and an illumination device (17) for irradiating the samples (2) with excitation light of a first wavelength. In this case, the injection device (10) is preferably positioned between the first optical device (4) and the receptacles (8) and includes at least one injector opening (11) of an injector needle (12) positioned in the observation region (6) of the first optical device (4) and a supply line (13) assigned thereto. The device (1) according to the present invention is characterized in that the injection device (10) for adding liquids (3) to samples (2) includes a tray (24) which is implemented for carrying and positioning the at least one injector needle (12) and its supply line (13).
