Abstract: The present invention relates to a cover device for a sample carrier, comprising a sticky surface area for connection to the sample carrier, wherein the sticky surface area is configured such that the sample carrier is covered in liquid-tight fashion after connection of the cover device to the sample carrier in the sticky surface area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of positioning an organic, biological and/or medical specimen in a desired partial region of a specimen carrier, comprising the steps arrangement of a gel in a partial region of the specimen carrier, polymerization or gelification of the gel, by means of which a polymerized gel is obtained, whereby the polymerized gel at least partially, in particular horizontally, delimits the desired partial region and introduction of the specimen into the specimen carrier, in particular into the desired partial region of the specimen carrier.

Abstract: The invention comprises a sample chamber for microscopic examinations, comprising a reservoir for receiving a sample, the reservoir being defined by a bottom plate and a side wall, and a parting plate disposed in the reservoir and being parallel to the bottom plate, the parting plate in the reservoir being disposed at a height which is lower than the minimum height of the side wall, so that it divides the reservoir into an upper and a lower partial reservoirs, the lower partial reservoir and the upper partial reservoir being laterally completely bordered by the side wall, and the upper and the lower partial reservoirs being connected by at least one inlet/outlet.

Abstract: The invention comprises a method of manufacturing a sample chamber, comprising the steps of: providing a first (20) and a second (30) component, the first component (20) comprising an elastomer; treating the elastomer in the region of a contact surface of the first component (20) and/or treating a contact surface of the second component (30) with a plasma, with plasma waste gas, and/or with a reactive gas; and connecting the contact surface of the first component (20) with the contact surface of the second component (30).
