Abstract: A system for sample imaging includes a control unit for delivering conditioned air, and a specimen chamber that receives the conditioned air from the control unit. The specimen chamber includes a chamber housing having an upper face, a lower face opposite the upper face and configured to face an imaging lens, and walls that extend vertically between the upper and lower faces. The walls define an interior volume of the specimen chamber. The specimen chamber includes an air actuator unit configured to direct conditioned air to a target location alongside the lower face for inhibiting or at least reducing condensation accumulation on the imaging lens.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for generating color video with a monochrome sensor include the acts of (i) selectively energizing each of a plurality of light sources in a sequence, (ii) capturing a monochrome image of the illuminated sample at a monochrome sensor at each stage of the sequence, and (iii) generating a color video from the monochrome images. The sequence can have a series of stages with each stage of the sequence corresponding to activation of a different wavelength of light from the light sources to illuminate a sample. Generating the monochrome video can include the acts of compiling a plurality of monochrome images captured at the monochrome sensor with a single light source into a series of monochrome video frames comprising the monochrome video.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating composite confocal images, comprising: an imaging apparatus configured to generate illumination; a sample stage configured to hold a sample to be illuminated by the illumination, wherein the illumination causes the sample to generate emissions that can be detected and used to image the sample, the sample stage configured to move the sample to a plurality of positions during the imaging process; and a vibration mechanism coupled with the sample stage, the motor configured to vibrate the stage after the stage moves the sample for a vibration period.
