Abstract: An exchanging device is for exchangeably holding a sensor, probe element or tool on a machine or on a machine part or a rotation-pivot unit on a machine or a machine part, preferably, a coordinate measuring apparatus. The exchanging device includes a take-up holder having a first bearing part and a counter piece (22) having a second bearing part corresponding to the first bearing part. A releasable clamping unit (42), for example, a magnetic clamping unit, is provided with which a clamping force is generated between the first and second bearing parts when the counter piece is accommodated on the take-up holder. A locking device having a first locking element (29) is provided on the take-up holder and a counter piece corresponding to the locking element (29) of the take-up holder is provided on the counter piece (22), for example, in the form of a slider (30). With the locking device, the counter piece can be mechanically coupled to the take-up holder in the state when it is taken up by the take-up holder.

Abstract: The invention relates to a biosensor for the diagnosis of plant diseases, which is suitable for recognising plant diseases, as well as its use in the course of this process, as well as a sensor platform as a component of a biosensor for the diagnosis of plant diseases, whereby the biosensor as an analytical measuring unit consists of the sensor platform according to the invention, which may be modified and on which immobilised biochemical recognition elements are immobilised, whilst in close contact with an appropriate transducer arrangement. The said biochemical recognition elements are structures which are specific for the plant pathogens to be evaluated, and therefore allow individual detection of these plant pathogens to be carried out in the course of the diagnostic process according to the invention.
