    Abstract: A microscope for computational microscopic layer separation may include an imaging device that includes a lens and an image sensor, an illumination system for illuminating a sample, and an actuator to adjust an axial position of a focal plane with respect to the sample. The microscope may also include a processor operatively coupled to the imaging device and the illumination system. The processor may be configured to measure, using the image sensor and the illumination system, optical aberrations of the imaging device at the axial position, and determine whether to adjust the focal plane with respect to the sample in response to the one or more optical aberrations. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.

    Abstract: An apparatus configured to process a sample to detect a pathogen receives a slide with the sample on the slide, in which the sample has been stained with one or more of a Gram stain, an Acid-Fast stain, or a Giemsa stain. An area of at least 5 mm2 of the sample is imaged at a rate of at least 15 mm2 per minute and a resolution of 0.3 pm or better to generate one or more images. The one or more images of the sample are processed with a classifier configured to detect the pathogen in the sample. In some embodiments, a plurality of cultured and stained samples on a plurality of slides are imaged at the resolution and processed with the classifier, which can increase the area processed and analyzed in order to decrease the culture time and corresponding time to diagnose the patient.

    Abstract: A microscope comprising an illumination assembly, an image capture device and a processor can be configured to selectively identify regions of a sample comprising artifacts or empty space. By selectively identifying regions of the sample that have artifacts or empty space, the amount of time to generate an image of the sample and resources used to generate the image can be decreased substantially while providing high resolution for appropriate regions of the computational image. The processor can be configured to change the imaging process in response to regions of the sample that comprises artifacts or empty space. The imaging process may comprise a higher resolution process to output higher resolution portions of the computational image for sample regions comprising valid sample material, and a lower resolution process to output lower resolution portions of the computational image for sample regions comprising valid sample material.
