Abstract
⺠Diagnostic technologies are often seen to drive the laboratorisation of medicine. ⺠Based on historical and ethnographic accounts, the innovation and routine use of diagnostic instruments are discussed. ⺠A comparative micro-analysis shows how diagnostic practices vary in routine use. ⺠The paper offers a pragmatist/phenomenological framework for conceptualising the relations of bodies, tools and knowledge
