A specimen processor, for operation with holder apparatus carrying a viewing screen (42) and a filter device (36) and a container (28) of a biological sample, has a frame (20) with reference structure for aligningly engaging the holder apparatus, and has a transport that carries a manipulation device (66). The processor operates the transport and the manipulation device to engage the filter device (36), remove it from support by the holder apparatus and collect cellular particles from the sample onto the filter device (36). The processor further operates the transport and manipulation device (66) to abut the filter device with the viewing screen (42) for transferring collected cellular particles to the screen, and to return the filter device (36) to carrying by the holder apparatus. <IMAGE> |
