    摘要: An integrated fluorescence scanning system is provided. The integrated fluorescence scanner combines an embedded computer, light engine, microscope, and motion stage into a compact rack-mountable network appliance that allows for automation of fluorescence microscopy. In an embodiment, the integrated fluorescence scanner includes a solid-state light engine which can provide intense, pure, and stable light across the spectrum required for imaging of all fluorophores of interest. The embedded computer allows for autonomous operation, and network appliance features including synchronous multi-scanner operation and monitoring, multisite operation via a single control terminal, and calibration for inter and intra instrument consistency.
