Abstract
A device (1) serves for conducting investigations on cell specimens, wherein the device has a microtiter plate or similar receiving device with a plurality of individual containers for the cell specimens. Furthermore, a measuring facility for recording changes in individual specimens is provided. On the underside the microtiter plate or similar receiving device has a measuring structure which carries at least one sensor allocated to each receiving vessel. The measuring structure can either be combined with a bottomless upper part of a conventional microtiter plate, or instead it is a semiconductor substrate plate (2) with a plurality of bowl-shaped receptacle depressions (3) situated therein and provided as containers. At least one sensor is allocated to each depression.
