Abstract: A peristaltic pump comprises a pump unit (2) including a pump (14) which receives a replaceable tube (4). In operation, the pump unit (2) applies a peristaltic action to the tube (4) to induce fluid flow between inlet and outlet ends (16, 18) of the tube (4). The tube (4) has a transponder, for example an RFID tag (26), which carries data relating to the tube (4). The pump unit (2) has a reader (28) which is capable of reading the data on the RFlD tag (26). On the basis of a comparison between the tube data on the RFID tag (26) and control data held in a memory of the reader (28), the reader (28) outputs a control signal to operating means of the pump unit (2) which permits operation of the pump unit (2) if the tube data is compatible with the control data, but prevents such operation if the tube data is incompatible with the control data, for example indicting that an incorrect tube (4) has been fitted, or the tube (4) is approaching the end of its predicted operational life.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus (1, 24) for generating three-dimensional image data of a sample (11). In the invention, a first particle beam for exposing a surface and a second particle beam for generating an image of the surface are used. By moving the sample (11), it suffices if the first particle beam and/or the second particle beam are initially focused once on a surface of the sample (11) that has already been exposed. Because all further exposed surfaces are always located in the same position, refocusing the first particle beam and/or the second particle beam is no longer required.
