An apparatus for imaging and analyzing a tissue sample includes a rotating table with integrated weighing apparatus for supporting and rotating a platform supporting a tissue sample. A laser line generator projects a laser line onto the platform and the tissue sample. A profiling camera captures images of the laser line upon the tissue sample as the platform and tissue sample are rotated. An image analyzer/processor determines a plurality of laser lines profiles from the captured images of the laser line. The image analyzer/processor determines a tissue profile of the tissue sample from the plurality of laser line profiles.
