The magazine has a contactlessly operating detector for detecting presence of sample holders (8-10) and/or sample carriers (12, 13) in a sensor area. A path sensor detects a displacement path and/or a current position of a drawer-like magazine panel (1) during the displacement of the magazine panel between a loading position and a standby position. An evaluating unit merges the detector data and the path sensor data and evaluates the merged data in correlation with a certain path position of the displacement path regarding the presence of the sample holders and/or the sample carriers. The detector is designed as a light barrier i.e. transmissive light barrier. The path sensor is designed as an optically or magnetically detecting incremental sensor. An independent claim is also included for a method for monitoring a presence of elongated cylindrical sample carriers and/or sample holders on a magazine panel. |
