Patent ID: 8149505

Claim:
A laser scanner device ( 1 ) for imaging or measuring fluorescent samples located on slides and treated using fluorescent pigments, which comprises a sample table ( 2 ), defining a sample plane ( 49 ), and a motorized transport device ( 3 ) for moving a slide from a storage unit ( 4 ) to the sample table ( 2 ) and back, the storage unit ( 4 ) comprising one sample part ( 7 ) for sample slides ( 8 ) and one test part ( 9 ) for test slides ( 10 ), which each have at least one depository ( 6 ) and are each accessible during operation of the laser scanner device ( 1 ) to the transport device ( 3 ), wherein the test part ( 9 ) is implemented as separate from the sample part ( 7 ) and as a test part magazine ( 9 ′) that is permanently connected to the laser scanner device ( 1 ) and that is for one or more test slides ( 10 ); wherein the test part ( 9 ) is permanently connected to the positioning plate ( 11 ) of the storage unit ( 4 ), because of which a test slide ( 10 ) stored in the test part ( 9 ) is not manually accessible to an operator in the operating state of the laser scanner device( 1 ); wherein the sample part ( 7 ) is reversibly mounted on the positioning plate ( 11 ) of the storage unit ( 4 ); and wherein the positioning plate ( 11 ) is movable in relation to the sample table ( 2 ) of the laser scanner device ( 1 ).
