1. Measuring apparatus (1) for tracking human and/or animal tissues comprising:
- a) a working area (2) for receiving a tissue;
b) a detecting means (5) configured to detect a unique tissue code provided with the tissue placed on the working area (2);
c) a measuring means (9) configured to automatically measure quantitative properties, which include three-dimensional properties, of the tissue placed on the working area (2); and
d) a processing and storing unit (22) configured to automatically link the quantitative properties with the tissue code and to automatically store the so linked quantitative properties and tissue code such that the quantitative properties can be retrieved based on the tissue code.

18. Method for tracking human and/or animal tissues comprising the steps of:
-
1) placing a tissue on a working area (2); 2) detecting a unique tissue code provided with the tissue by means of a detecting means (5); 3) automatically measuring of quantitative properties of the tissue by means of a measuring means (9), wherein the quantitative properties include three-dimensional properties; 4) automatically linking the quantitative properties with the tissue code by means of a processing and storing unit (22), and 5) automatically storing the so linked quantitative properties and tissue code by means of the processing and storing unit (22) such that the quantitative properties can be retrieved based on the tissue code and optionally such that the relation between the tissue code and the tissue is restored based on the quantitative properties being linked with the tissue code, and optionally retrieving the quantitative properties based on the tissue code. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
