Abstract: An optical detection device includes a base, a cartridge placing portion, a shield cover, a processor, and an optical sensor. The base includes an opening. The cartridge placing portion is located in the base, and is in communication with the opening. The shield cover is configured to open or close the opening. When the optical sensor is actuated, the shield cover closes the opening to prevent external ambient light from entering the opening to affect the optical sensor during sensing.

Abstract: A specimen inspection machine includes a case, a carrying device, an inspection device, a sensing device and a control device. The carrying device is disposed in the case. The inspection device is disposed on the carrying device. The inspection device has accommodating grooves. Each accommodating groove is used for accommodating an inspection sample. The inspection sample at least includes a specimen. The sensing device is disposed in the case on a side of the case opposite the carrying device. The sensing device senses the inspection device to generate first and second sensing signals. The control device is disposed in the case. The control device determines whether the inspection device is disposed in the correct position according to the first sensing signals, and determines whether inspection samples are placed in the accommodating grooves according to the second sensing signals to inspect the accommodating grooves placed with the inspection samples.

Abstract: A thermal cycling device includes a thermally-conductive carrier, a temperature adjustment device, a storage tank, and a liquid delivery device. The temperature adjustment device is thermally coupled with the thermally-conductive carrier. The storage tank is disposed corresponding to and abuts against the temperature adjustment device, or the temperature adjustment device is at least partially disposed in the storage tank. The liquid delivery device communicates with the storage tank. A temperature control method for the thermal cycling device can control whether liquid contacts the temperature adjustment device through the liquid delivery device in coordination with whether the temperature adjustment device heats the thermally-conductive carrier, so as to produce rapid heating and heat dissipation effects.
