15. An analyzing device comprising a detector, one or more processors, and a display, the analyzing device being configured to:
illuminate, using electromagnetic radiation, each respective sample of one or more samples arranged in one or more sample receptacles of a platform that is configured to hold a plurality of separate samples,
obtain, via the detector an electromagnetic radiation measurement for each respective sample of the one or more samples, wherein the electromagnetic radiation measurement for each respective sample of the one or more samples measures electromagnetic radiation transmitted or emitted by the respective sample,
repeat the obtaining of electromagnetic radiation measurements, via the detector, for each respective sample of the one or more samples a plurality of times at predetermined intervals,
via the one or more processors, on the basis of each electromagnetic radiation measurement measuring electromagnetic radiation transmitted or emitted by each respective sample, form a result matrix comprising a plurality of cells, each cell of the result matrix corresponding to a sample receptacle of the platform, wherein an electromagnetic radiation measurement value of each sample is used as an input for determining visual properties of the respective cell in the result matrix, the visual properties including a color and a transparency of the cell, the transparency of each cell being determined on the basis of a measurement value of the respective sample and the color of each cell being determined based on a wavelength of the radiation emitted by the samples or based on a wavelength of the radiation used for illuminating the samples, and
display the results on the display as consecutive matrixes in respect of time.
