    摘要: A method for imaging is presented. The method includes acquiring a plurality of images corresponding to at least one field of view at a plurality of sample distances. Furthermore, the method includes determining a figure of merit corresponding to each pixel in each of the plurality of acquired images. The method also includes for each pixel in each of the plurality of acquired images identifying an image in the plurality of images that yields a best figure of merit for that pixel. Moreover, the method includes generating an array for each image in the plurality of images. In addition, the method includes populating the arrays based upon the determined best figures of merit to generate a set of populated arrays. Also, the method includes processing each populated array in the set of populated arrays using a bit mask to generate bit masked filtered arrays. Additionally, the method includes selecting pixels from each image in the plurality of images based upon the bit masked filtered arrays. The method also includes processing the bit masked arrays using a bicubic filter to generate a filtered output. Further, the method includes blending the selected pixels as a weighted average of corresponding pixels across the plurality of images based upon the filtered output to generate the composite image having an enhanced depth of field.

    摘要: In an imaging device having an objective and a stage for holding a sample to be imaged, a method for autofocusing is presented. The method includes determining a measured focus value corresponding to at least a first of a plurality of logical image segments. Further, the method includes imaging the first logical image segment using the measured focus value. The method also includes determining a predicted focus value for a second of the plurality of logical image segments using the measured focus value and a stored focus variation parameter. In addition, the method includes imaging the second logical image segment using the predicted focus value.
