    Abstract: Access to microscope images while a sample is scanned or images are generated or uploaded can decrease an amount of time that a user waits to view a region of interest of an image. A processor can be configured to allow a remote user to access a portion of an image at full or partial resolution while other portions of the sample are being scanned, or while one or more images are generated or uploaded at full or partial resolution. A processor stored locally with the microscope can be configured to allow a remote user to access a completed scan over the internet prior to the scan being fully uploaded over a network such as the internet to a remote server. In some embodiments, a processor may be coupled to a microscope, a user device, or a remote server.

    Abstract: A microscope for computational imaging may include an illumination source configured to illuminate a sample with a plurality of wavelengths, an image sensor, an objective lens to image the sample onto the image sensor, and a processor operatively coupled to the illumination assembly and the image sensor. The processor may be configured to acquire a first image dataset from the sample illuminated using a first set of illumination conditions at a first wavelength. The processor may also be configured to acquire a second image dataset from the sample illuminated using a second set of illumination conditions having a second number of illumination conditions at a second wavelength. The second set of illumination conditions comprises fewer illumination conditions than the first set in order to decrease acquisition time. The processor may be configured to combine the first and second image datasets into a computationally reconstructed image of the sample.

    Abstract: A microscope comprising an illumination assembly, an image capture device and a processor can be configured to selectively identify regions of a sample comprising artifacts or empty space. By selectively identifying regions of the sample that have artifacts or empty space, the amount of time to generate an image of the sample and resources used to generate the image can be decreased substantially while providing high resolution for appropriate regions of the computational image. The processor can be configured to change the imaging process in response to regions of the sample that comprises artifacts or empty space. The imaging process may comprise a higher resolution process to output higher resolution portions of the computational image for sample regions comprising valid sample material, and a lower resolution process to output lower resolution portions of the computational image for sample regions comprising valid sample material.

    Abstract: Microscopes and methods for processing images of a sample are disclosed. In one implementation, a microscope includes an illumination assembly configured to illuminate the sample under two or more different illumination conditions. The microscope further includes at least one image capture device configured to capture image information associated with the sample and at least one controller. The at least one controller is programmed to receive, from the at least one image capture device, a plurality of images associated with the sample. At least a first portion of the plurality of images is associated with a first region of the sample, and a second portion of the plurality of images is associated with a second region of the sample. The at least one controller is further programmed to initiate a first computation process to generate a high resolution image of the first region by combining image information selected from the first portion of the plurality of images; receive, after initiating the first computation process and before completing the first computation process, a request associated with prioritizing a second computation process for generating a high resolution image of the second region; and initiate, after receiving the request, the second computation process to generate the high resolution image of the second region by combining image information selected from the second portion of the plurality of images.
