Abstract: Embodiments relate to systems and methods for sample image capture using integrated control. A digital microscope or other imaging device can be associated with a sample chamber containing cell, tissue, or other sample material. The chamber can be configured to operate using a variety of environmental variables, including gas concentration, temperature, humidity, and others. The imaging device can be configured to operate using a variety of imaging variables, including magnification, focal length, illumination, and others. A central system control module can be used to configure the settings of those hardware elements, as well as others, to set up and carry out an image capture event. The system control module can be operated to control the physical, optical, chemical, and/or other parameters of the overall imaging environment from one central control point. The variables used to produce the image capture can be configured to dynamically variable during the media capture event.

Abstract: A sample analyzer is configured to obtain first and second stage position data. The first stage position data indicates a first position of a movable stage in a first dimension, and the second stage position data indicates a second position of the movable stage in a second (perpendicular) dimension. The sample analyzer is configured to, based on the first and second stage position data, determine a viewing position of one or more viewing or imaging optics relative to the movable stage. The sample analyzer is configured to display a vessel map, which comprises a visual representation of a sample vessel associated with the movable stage. The sample analyzer is configured to display a viewing position marker overlaid on the vessel map. The viewing position marker indicates the viewing position of the one or more viewing or imaging optics relative to the sample vessel as represented by the vessel map.
