ABSTRACT:
An apparatus in accordance with the invention is directed to an optical inspection apparatus (10) adapted to inspect a liquid sample. The apparatus includes a tray (20) that is adapted to be physically coupled to a first liquid sample carrier (22) and a second liquid sample carrier (40), each of the first and second liquid sample carriers (22, 40) being adapted to hold a liquid sample. The first liquid sample carrier (22) is of a first type and the second liquid sample carrier (40) is of a second type different from the first type. The apparatus (10) has a light source (108) adapted to illuminate one of the liquid samples associated with one of the liquid sample carriers (22or40) when the liquid sample carrier (22or40) is coupled to the tray (20) at an inspection location and a detector (110) adapted to receive light from the liquid sample when the liquid sample is being illuminated by the light source (108).
