ADJUSTABLE DIGITAL MICROSCOPE DISPLAY

摘要

The present invention relates in general to microscopy systems. In particular, the present invention relates to microscopes rendering digital images of samples, with the capability to digitally control the focus of the microscope system, and the software used to control the operation of the digital microscope system. Further, the present invention relates to a microscope structure that allows for compact and multi-functional use of a microscope, providing for light shielding and control with samples that require specific light wavelength characteristics, such as fluorescence, for detection and imaging.

主权项

1. A method of controlling a display for a digital microscope comprising:
receiving first imaging information from an camera unit of the digital microscope; receiving positioning information including a position of a lens of the camera unit with respect to a sample under inspection on a sample stage of the digital microscope; receiving control information from a control interface operable to receive user control inputs, wherein the control information includes commands for performing focusing functions with respect to images of the sample under inspection as displayed on the display screen of the digital microscope; receiving second imaging information from an orientation camera disposed above the sample under inspection on the sample stage of the digital microscope; and displaying images of the sample under inspection on a display of the digital microscope based on the positioning information and the control information.
