The slide no is used to carry a sample 200' and has a view area U2 for viewing by the view device 3 and a peripheral area 114 surrounding the view area 112. In this embodiment, the sample 200 is, for example, blood 'semen, urine, or other object to be detected, which is covered with the inspection area 112 and can overflow into the peripheral portion 114 of the portion. Alternatively, the viewing device 30A may be a microscope, a photographic lens having a photosensitive coupling element, or other inspection device that can be used to view the sample 200 housed in the carrier device 100. These media 120 may be liquid media or gelatinous media disposed on the slide 110, in the peripheral region 114, and surrounding the viewing region 112. Moreover, these # media 120 are not in contact with the specimen 200. Additionally, these spacers 140 can be spherical spacers and can be premixed in these media 12〇. Therefore, when the user arranges the media 12 on the slide glass 110, the spacers 14 can be disposed on the slide glass n〇. At this time, the spacers 140 are held on the slide glass 110 through the media 120. Alternatively, the user may first arrange the media 120 on the slides 11 and then spread the spacers 140 on the media 120 to mix the spacers 14 into the media 120. In this way, the spacers 140 can also be held on the slide 11 through the medium 120. In addition to these, these media 120 can also be adhesives. At this time, the user may first arrange the media 12 on the slide 110 or the cover glass 130, and then spread the spacers 14 on the media 120 respectively, so that the spacers 140 are attached to the media 140. On the medium 120. As a result, these spacers 140 can also be held on the slide glass 110 or the cover glass 130 through these media. Then the user can then cover the cover glass 130 over the slide 11 , to cover the inspection area 112, at least a portion of the peripheral area 114, the medium 120 and the spacers 140, thereby maintaining the sample 200 Between the slide glass 110 and the cover glass 130. At this time, the slide glass 110 carries the cover glass 130 through the spacers 140, thereby maintaining a certain gap with the cover glass I%. 201224425 Compared with the prior art, in the present invention, the slide 11 〇 and the cover glass 13 〇 do not need special treatment, and the medium 120 and the spacer 140 can be used for water and the gap used in the liquid crystal panel. Since the material is relatively inexpensive, the overall manufacturing cost of the carrier device 1 会 will be low. Moreover, the user can accurately calculate the total amount of the sample 2 in the inspection region 112 by multiplying the area of the inspection region 112 by the size of the spacer 140. In addition, the user can also use different sizes of spacers 14 根据 according to their use requirements to adjust the gap between the slide glass 110 and the cover glass 13 。. In addition, in order to prevent the medium 120 and the spacers 14 from coming into contact with the sample 2, the accuracy of the inspection result is affected. The user can select the medium 12 and the spacer 14 which do not interfere with the sample 2 and do not chemically react with the sample 200. In addition, the user may further select a medium 120 having a color different from that of the specimen 2 to facilitate identification of the outer contour of the specimen 2〇〇.
