  • Patent number: 7013197
    Abstract: The invention concerns a climatic cabinet with specimen storage places and a transporting device and a monitoring device for specimen slides. The invention also concerns a device and a method for the monitoring of a climatic cabinet. The monitoring device is designed, with respect to its form and outside dimensions, so that it can be transported by the transporting system and can be laid on one of the specimen storage places and can be removed from a specimen storage place. That has the advantage that the monitoring device can be moved to any place with the already present transporting device, wherein not only individual specimen slides but also specimen slide cassettes can be taken to their storage places and monitored, as well as stationary and movable storage devices in a position at rest and in operation, such as cassette carrier carousels, and parts of the transporting device itself.
