A flow chamber (1), made from plastic as object support for light microscopy investigations, comprises at least one channel (4) with a width of 0.01-20.0 mm and a height of 0.01 -5 mm in a base plate (2). A fluid reservoir (3, 3') is connected to the inlet and outlet opening (6, 6') of the channel generating a communicating system. The base and/or lid of said chamber is made from high optical quality plastic and can be functionalised. The inlet and outlet regions of the channel are embodied with a bevelling (7) of the channel edges, or a surface treatment, such that no drops are formed and thus no restriction of flow occurs. In a method for sample preparation for light microscopy investigations a sample flow through a system of communicating tubes is generated, in which a reservoir of a solution containing the sample is connected by means of a thin line to at least one further reservoir and the fill levels of the reservoirs are different at the beginning of the investigation. |
