Abstract:
This method includes the following steps of: taking a sample of a cell solution from a sample flask, placing the sampled solution in a decantation chamber (2) arranged above the analysis plate (4), allowing the solution to decant in order to obtain a thin layer of cells on the analysis plate (4). It includes a step of measuring the cell density of the sampled solution, the measurement being carried out in the decantation chamber (2). A device for producing a cell analysis plate allowing such a method to be carried out is also described.
Abstract:
A method for imaging a tissue includes collecting a light signal from at least part of said tissue, using a fiber optic probe for fluorescence imaging, wherein the fiber optic probe comprises a plurality of optic fibers, and wherein a distal tip of the fiber optic probe is placed at a distance from said tissue, said imaging being made confocal at a proximal tip of said fiber optic probe. A fluorescence imaging system includes an endoscope equipped with a working channel, in which a fiber optic probe has been inserted, wherein the fiber optic probe is movable between a retracted position and at least one position of extension, said fiber optic probe comprising a plurality of optic fibers for performing imaging of a tissue, said imaging being confocal via a processor located at a proximal tip of said fiber optic probe.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method that includes the following steps: carrying out a treatment of a sample, the treatment being carried out for differentiating diseased cells from healthy cells in the sample (4); carrying out at least one first image acquisition of the sample (4) provided on an analysis plate (8) so as to obtain a plurality of images, each representing an area (18) of the analysis plate, said images being arranged side by side so as to form an image of the entirety of the sample in order to create a virtual analysis plate (2), locating a reference plane of the analysis plate including a slide and a lamella provided above the slide for image acquisition, said reference plane being defined by the surface of the slide or the lamella; and carrying out at least one second image acquisition, said second acquisition being carried out at a different thickness of the sample relative to the first acquisition so as to obtain a plurality of images corresponding to a section of the sample with a different thickness.
Abstract:
A system for preparing a cytological suspension based on a fixing solution. The system containing a cytological sample-taking brush and a flask having an opening for receiving the cytological sample-taking brush that is detachably fastened to a handle, and includes a brush-receiving filter basket that is at least partially immersed in a suspension.

Abstract:
A system for analyzing a cell suspension includes at least one well for decanting (1) the suspension and elements (2, 3) for analyzing the cell deposits at the bottom of the well over time during the decanting, so as to allow an analysis of the cells by strata (T1, T2, T3) as a function of their rate of decantation.
