    摘要: Microscope system for, and methods of, imaging a sample including biological cells. In an exemplary method, light transmitted through the sample may be detected for a first set of focal positions to collect a first stack of images. Values of a focus metric may be calculated for the first stack of images. A candidate focal position may be determined based on the values. Photoluminescence may be detected from the sample for a second set of focal positions to collect a second stack of images. The second set of focal positions may define a smaller range than the first set of focal positions. At least one focal position of the second set of focal positions may be based on the candidate focal position. In other words, the candidate focal position may serve as a guide for finding a suitable photoluminescence focal position.

    摘要: Disclosed herein is an apparatus (200, 500, 510, 520, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100) comprising: a probe carrier (300, 310, 400, 410) comprising: a substrate (301, 401) comprising with holes (302, 402) through a thickness of the substrate (301, 401) and a transparent window (303) across an opening of each of the holes (302, 402), wherein the transparent window (303) closes the opening, wherein one or more locations on the transparent window (303) are configured to have probes (357, 457) attached thereto, wherein interaction between the probes (357, 457) and an analyte generates a signal; an optical system (285) comprising a plurality of collimators (295); a sensor (251) configured to detect the signal; wherein the collimators (295) can essentially prevent light from passing if a deviation of a propagation direction of the light from an optical axis of the collimators (295) is greater than a threshold. Because the probe carrier (300, 310, 400, 410) is separate and independent from the microarray (255), the probe carrier (300, 310, 400, 410) may be assembled with a pre-existing microarray (255) prior to its use, and be detached from the microarray (255) and disposed after its use.
