    Abstract: A method comprises: directing, using an objective and a first reflective surface, first autofocus light toward a sensor, the first autofocus light reflected from a first surface of a substrate; preventing second autofocus light from reaching the sensor, the second autofocus light reflected from a second surface of the substrate; and directing, using the objective and a second reflective surface, emission light toward the sensor, the emission light originating from a sample at the substrate.

    Abstract: An imaging system including a light source; a first focusing lens positioned to focus a beam from the light source to a beam waist at a predetermined location along an optical path of the beam in the imaging system; a beam splitter positioned relative to the first focusing lens to receive the beam from the first focusing lens and to create first and second beams; a second focusing lens positioned to receive the first and second beams output by the beam splitter, to focus the received first and second beams to a spot sized dimensioned to fall within a sample to be image, and further positioned to receive first and second beams reflected from the sample; an image sensor positioned to receive the light beams reflected from the sample; and a roof prism positioned in the optical path between the second focusing lens and the image sensor.
