Abstract

In a cytometer unit (1) with a receptacle (2) into which a rotatable and preferably disk-shaped sample carrier (3) is insertable, it is proposed to define a first fixing means (14) for the definition of a position of a cytometer channel (12) of the inserted sample carrier (3) transversely with respect to the direction of extent thereof and transversely with respect to an optical path (11), by which a cytometric measurement can be carried out, and to use a second fixing means (19) to define a position of the cytometer channel (12) of the inserted sample carrier (3) along the optical path (11).
