A method for analyzing chemical and/or biological samples comprises the
production of a particle image (42) of at least one particle included in
the sample. Subsequently, a particle surface (10) of the at least one
particle included in the particle image (42) is divided into particle
zones (14,18). According to the invention, zone-dependent particle data
are subsequently acquired in different states (z1, z2, z3), which then
can be evaluated.
