    摘要: A steering mirror assembly operates in a stable manner with a high bandwidth, with one to two degree peak-to-peak angular stroke. The steering mirror assembly includes a mirror for directing signals to their destination by reflection. The steering mirror may be moved through any position in a cone of several degrees. Movement of the mirror is achieved by a number of actuators. The mirror is coupled to a flexure ring that locks out undesirable directions of motion. The mirror assembly also includes position sensor that indicate to the assembly where the mirror is currently positioned. Data from these sensors is used as feedback to appropriately adjust mirror position.

    摘要: Systems and techniques for an optical scanning microscope and/or other appropriate imaging system includes components for scanning and collecting focused images of a tissue sample and/or other object disposed on a slide. The focusing system described herein provides for determining best focus for each snapshot as a snapshot is captured, which may be referred to as “on-the-fly focusing.” The devices and techniques provided herein lead to significant reductions in the time required for forming a digital image of an area in a pathology slide and provide for the creation of high quality digital images of a specimen at high throughput.

    摘要: Systems and techniques for an optical scanning microscope and/or other appropriate imaging system includes components for scanning and collecting focused images of a tissue sample and/or other object disposed on a slide. The focusing system described herein provides for determining best focus for each snapshot as a snapshot is captured, which may be referred to as “on-the-fly focusing.” Best focus may be determined using an error function generated according to movement of a dither focusing lens. The devices and techniques provided herein lead to significant reductions in the time required for forming a digital image of an area in a pathology slide and provide for the creation of high quality digital images of a specimen at high throughput.

    摘要: A microscope slide holding cassette includes a main body for surrounding and protecting microscopes, and shelves capable of holding the microscope slides. The shelves have support members that extend outwardly in order to support label ends of slides. Catches carried at the end of the support members are capable of limiting movement of the slides during transport of the cassette. To transport slides to different workstations, a pickup device can use a vacuum to pick up a slide without contacting areas of the slide that may have glue. The pickup device can load and unload the cassette. The pickup device can have a low-profile configuration in order to access relatively small spaces for processing flexibility.
