Abstract

A process for carrying out an allergy test is based on a blood sample being taken. The blood sample is contacted in vitro with at least one allergen. At least one allergic reaction or the absence of the at least one allergic reaction is observed via a microscope (11) directly and/or optically. To make it possible to carry out an allergy test with a higher validity and/or better accuracy, a position of granules is observed via the microscope (11). The granules are observed in different planes or horizontal planes.
