Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for the optical in vitro detection of a movement in a biological sample and/or for the optical in vitro detection of a movement of a component of the biological sample. The method has the following step: (a) providing an optical wide-field illumination device for illuminating the sample, said device being designed to illuminate the entire sample, and a detector ( 3 ) for detecting radiation ( 9; 9 a,  9 b ) coming from the sample. The detector ( 3 ) has a detection surface ( 3 a ) which is divided into multiple detection regions ( 4 a ). The detector is additionally designed to derive (S 1 ) detection signals ( 4 c ) of individual detection regions ( 4 a ) with respect to time, subsequently rectify (S 2 ) the signals, preferably by generating an absolute value or squaring, and summing or averaging (S 3 ) the derived and rectified detection signals of all of the detection regions and then providing same as an output signal ( 6 c ). The method further has the steps of illuminating the sample using the wide-field illumination device and detecting a movement in the biological sample on the basis of the output signal ( 6 c ) of the detector ( 3 ).

Claim (Index 32):
The method according to  claim 17 , wherein a receptacle for holding the sample is a cavity of a multiwell plate or a hanging drop multiwell plate.
