Abstract
A device for optical analysis of a specimen, especially a blood sample, is in the form of a dish, a translucent plate-shaped portion, which has a specimen-receiving surface, essentially constituting the bottom of the dish, and a frame, which engages the plate-shaped portion, forming its wall. To catch surplus liquid from the specimen-receiving surface, especially when receiving, smearing, spinning or coloring the specimen, an absorbing material is arranged in a loop along the circumference of the plate-shaped portion. The design of the device permits safe and easy handling of specimens that are injurious to health.
