Abstract: A device for an optically controlled micro-manipulation of biological specimens includes at least one micro-manipulator with at least one motor-displaceable cytotechnical instrument holder elements, and a microscope which has at least one functional motor-displaceable element coupled with the motor-displaceable holder in such fashion that, using a control element, a common displacement or adjustment of the holder and a displacement of the at least one functional element of the microscope can be executed in a coordinated fashion so that upon changing a size of a field of view by changing a microscope objective lens, a covered range of displacement of a cytotechnical instrument using the holder is adapted to a new field of view.

Abstract: A device for photometric measurement of several samples (12) that are exposed to radiation from a light source (14) associated therewith. The light modified by the samples (12) is intercepted by an optical device (19) and is guided as a sum of all the light radiated from all samples (12) to at least one sensor (27) for measuring the intensity and evaluation thereof in an evaluation device (32) arranged downstream. The light sources (14) are controlled individually by a control device (31) and the evaluation device (32) and the control device (31) are controlled such that the evaluation device (32) separates the light from each sample (12) from the light of the other samples. The control device (31) modulates the light source (14) with various signals, which are pre-assigned to the evaluation device (32) and used to determine the light signals of the individual samples (12) from the sum signal received by the sensor (27).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the optically controlled micromanipulation of biological objects, containing the following: at least one micro manipulator comprising at least one holder that is motor-displaceable by means of Control elements for a cytological instrument; and a microscope, which has at least one functional element that is motor-displaceable by means of a control element. The motor-displaceable holder is coupled to at least one motor-displaceable functional clement in such a way that a mutual adjustment or setting of the holder and an adjustment of the functional element(s) of the microscope can be carded out in a co-ordinated manner by means of a common control element (17, 18).
