Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described including placing a first portion of a biological sample into a source sample portion chamber of a sample carrier, and placing a second portion of the biological sample into a diluted sample portion chamber. The second portion of the biological sample is diluted with respect to the first portion of the biological sample. Using an optical measurement device, a bulk-level measurand of the sample that relates to a parameter of the biological sample as a whole is measured, by performing a measurement upon the first portion of the biological sample. Microscopic images of the second portion of the biological sample are acquired. Other applications are also described.
