    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: Systems and methods for autofocus using artificial intelligence include (i) capturing a plurality of monochrome images over a nominal focus range, (ii) identifying one or more connected components within each monochrome image, (iii) sorting the identified connected components based on a number of pixels associated with each connected component, (iv) generating a focus quality estimate of at least a portion of the sorted connected components using a machine learning module, and (iv) calculating a target focus position based on the focus quality estimate of the evaluated connected components. The calculated target focus position can be used to perform cell counting using artificial intelligence, such as by (i) generating a seed likelihood image and a whole cell likelihood image based on output—a convolutional neural network and (ii) generating a mask indicative quantity and/or pixel locations of objects based on the seed likelihood image.
