Abstract: A device for recording or transferring graphical information from a sample medium for analysis and storage purposes includes a generally planar, transparent base which overlies the sample with the information to be recorded. A generally transparent recording medium overlies the base and is provided with indicia. By comparing the indicia with the information recorded on the recording medium, an analysis can be made. At least a part of the indicia may be used to form an anti-tampering arrangement which prevents unauthorized tampering of the information stored on the recording medium. A method of recording graphical information representing medical data for analysis and storage purposes is also part of the invention.
