Apparatus and method of conveying constituents

摘要

An apparatus is disclosed for conveying microscopic constituents from a testing surface to a slide. The microscopic constituents are observed through a viewer. A transparent tape permits the passage of light through the transparent tape. A plurality of markers are positioned on the transparent tape. An adhesive layer on the transparent tape affixes the constituents about the plurality of markers upon impressing the transparent tape against the testing surface. The adhesive layer affixes the transparent tape to the slide for preserving and restraining the constituents. The transparent tape and the slide enable the identification and calculation of the number of the constituents per each area occupied by each of the plurality of markers.
