Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a method for checking pipette tips comprising the following steps: a) providing pipette tips in a first carrier; b) receiving pipette tips from the first carrier via a holder device; c) capturing first image data using a first image-capturing device, which has an optical axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pipette tips and directed towards the respective outlet opening of the pipette tips; d) capturing second image data using a second image-capturing device, which has an optical axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pipette tips and directed towards the sub-segments of the pipette tip casing surfaces facing the second image-capturing device; e) determining whether the image data lies within predefined acceptability limits; f) discarding the pipette tips, for which the image data falls outside the acceptability limits, in a waste container; g) transferring the pipette tips, for which the image data lies within the acceptability limits, into a second carrier; wherein the second image data of multiple pipette tips is simultaneously captured in step d).
