Claims (13)

1. Automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat konfigureret til at påføre mindst et reagens til en prøve båret på et mikroskopobjektglas, hvilket automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat omfatter: et støtteelement (703) med en støtteflade og omfattende en rende (737); mindst en vakuumtilslutningsåbning (721); og et tætningselement (709), hvor tætningselementet (709) i en ikke-komprimeret tilstand strækker sig opad på den anden side af støttefladen og i en komprimeret tilstand er konfigureret til at opretholde en lufttæt afdækning med en bagside af mikroskopobjektglasset når mikroskopobjektglasset er trukket mod støttefladen af et vakuum trukket via den mindst ene vakuumtilslutningsåbning (721), kendetegnet ved at tætningselementet (709) har, som set langs en akse generelt vinkelret til støttefladen, en polygonal form eller en rundet-hjørne polygonal form, og at hvor tætningselementet (709) omfatter en føjelig pakning med et hovedlegeme (747) og en læbe (749), hvor hovedlegemet (747) er positioneret i renden (737), og hvor læben (749) strækker sig radialt udad fra hovedlegemet (747).
2. Automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat ifølge krav 1, hvor tætningselementet (709) har en rundet-hjørne rektangulær form eller en rektangulær form som set fra oven.

8. Automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat ifølge krav 1, hvor tætningselementet (709) omfatter en læbe (749) konfigureret til at afbøje primært i en retning lodret til en bagsideflade af mikroskopobjektglasset under brug.
9. Automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat ifølge krav 1, hvor læben (749) er bevægelig mellem en ikke-komprimeret konfiguration for at kontakte objektglasset der bevæges mod støttefladen og en komprimeret konfiguration for at opretholde den lufttætte tætning, hvor læben (749) i den ikke-komprimerede position strækker sig opad på den anden side af overfladen, og hvor læben (749) i den komprimerede position er placeret ved eller under en overflade.
10. Automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat ifølge krav 1, hvor læben (749) er konfigureret til at blive afbøjet efterhånden som mikroskopobjektglasset bevæges mod støttefladen til at danne den lufttætte tætning.
11. Automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat ifølge krav 1, hvor tætningselementet (709) er positioneret til at blive anbragt under en markør af mikroskopobjektglasset.
12. Automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat ifølge krav 1, yderligere omfattende en vakuumkilde (717) i fluid kontakt med den mindst ene vakuumtilslutningsåbning (721) og konfigureret til at trække et tilstrækkeligt vakuum til at opretholde den lufttætte tætning.
13. Automatisk objektglas-bearbejdningsapparat ifølge krav 1, yderligere omfattende en varmegiver konfigureret til at opvarme støtteelementet (703) således at støtteelementet (703) ledende opvarmer mikroskopobjektglasset mens tætningselementet (709) opretholder den lufttætte tætning.
