Abstract: A method for machining a face (1) of an optical object (6), includes providing a machine tool which itself includes a bed (1) for locating an object to be machined. The bed (1) has a receiving surface (3) that is angularly adjustable about an axis perpendicular to the receiving surface (3). A spindle (8) is suitable for rotating a machining tool (9) about an axis essentially parallel to the receiving surface (3) of the bed (1) and is suitable for moving the machining tool (9) translationally in a plane essentially parallel or perpendicular to the receiving surface (3) of the bed (1).

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing substances, specifically powders and liquids, into a container, is designed as a compact module containing a weighing device with a load receiver, a holder device which is attached to the load receiver and serves to receive and loosely hold the container while the substances are dispensed into the container, and a liquid-dispensing device for dispensing a liquid into the container while the latter is seated in the holder device. The apparatus includes a clamping device for firmly gripping and immobilizing the container, so that a capping device that is not part of the apparatus can put a cap on the container or remove the cap from the container while the latter is seated in the holder device.
