Abstract

A device for reading the results of centrifugal separation of test samples such as samples of blood. The centrifugal separation apparatus is provided with a housing having a hinged cover having a magnifying lens built into it, either as a lens shaped portion of a plastic cover, or as a separate glass lens attached to the cover. Arms on the hinged cover, engaging with abutment portions on a stationary part of the housing, define a position of the cover which is most appropriate for reading the results.
