SMEAR SAMPLE PREPARING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus for spreading a smear over a slide with a spreader (slide) for microscopic observation, which includes a zechanism for suitably varying the relative spreading speed between the slide and the spreader, and/or the spreading angle formed between the slide and the spreader, in order to maintain the thickness of the smear at a constant value, by means of imparting a programmatic command to vary the speed and/or the angle, with the aid of a zervomotor and/or a cam means.
