Abstract: Filter (45) for a pathology assembly (10) comprising a first side (41) that is configured to facilitate the outflow of a fixating, conserving and/or nurturing liquid and/or gas, the first side (41) being configured to withhold at least one specimen, the first side (41) being configured to facilitate recognition and analysis of the specimen, a ridge (46) comprising a filter closing element (26) and a second side (39) opposing the first side (41) comprising a supporting structure (44) and a first member for a first seal (48).

Abstract: A method and a system of detecting at least one sample in a sample container, comprising a sample container, further comprising a cavity, the volume of said cavity partially or fully occupied with at least one solid sample and at least one fluid; and at least one camera capturing at least one image of the sample container; and a data processing device detecting at least one sample in the sample container by processing the at least one image captured by the at least one camera. The method and system further comprise putting the sample container in sudden motion prior to the at least one camera capturing at least one image of the sample container.

Abstract: A system and a method for generating a combined 3D model (95) of a sample comprising a sample imaging system (1) configured to generate a first 3D model (25) of the sample, a slice imaging system (2) configured to generate a second 3D model (615) of the sample, and a combiner engine (90) configured to generate a combined 3D model (95) based on the first 3D model and the second 3D model of the sample.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of or for handling at least one specimen. Such a specimen can be any specimen being the result of an examination and also embraces tissue samples and/or liquid biopsies. The method can comprise the steps of: providing at least one container for the specimen, transferring at least one specimen into the container, and capturing a first data set in a first station. These method steps can be performed in any order. The further step can be a generating of a transfer sheet with accumulated data on the basis of at least the first data set. The method can also comprise the delivering of the container with the specimen and the transfer sheet to a further preparing and/or analyzing stage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sample processing system and method for automatically processing at least one of a histological, a pathological, a medical, a biological, a veterinary and an agricultural sample. The sample can be positioned in a container assembly that can be closed after depositing the sample therein and can be opened, particularly upon arrival to a laboratory equipped with a system according to the present invention. The system can comprise an imaging section that is configured to capture images of the container assembly and/or the sample; an opening section configured to automatically open the container assembly and to remove at least the sample or a plurality of samples from the container assembly or of different compartments in the container; a cassette-handling section configured to support the sample for further handling; and an output section configured to provide the sample for further examination.
