Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and a device for inspecting a volume and/or a composition of at least one, especially fluid, sample. The method comprises the steps of making available at least one pipette, in which an interface is formed between a sample and a fluid which is adjacent to the sample. That interface being optically perceptible outside the pipette as an interface line between the sample and at least one fluid that extends approximately (about) horizontally A camera is arranged in an image so that the marking and at least a first section of the at least one pipette is shown in a recorded imageThe present invention thus provides an apparatus and method for a singular approach to detecting, evaluation and recording results.
