Claim 10:
11. A method for template-based imaging, comprising:
receiving a first image of a first slide, a second image of a second slide, and a third image of a third slide, wherein the third image includes a representation of a sample disposed on the third slide;
developing a template image from the first image and the second image that identifies first pixels in the template image associated with representations in the first and second images of corresponding first and second reference marks disposed on the first and second slides, respectively, wherein coordinates of the first pixels have a predetermined relationship with coordinates of the representation of the sample in the third image;
determining an offset between the template image and the third image by aligning the first pixels with second pixels associated with a representation in the third image of a third reference mark disposed on the third slide; and
determining coordinates of third pixels in the third image that are associated with the representation of the sample in accordance with the offset.
