Claim:
1. An autofocusing method, comprising: providing an imaging system and an optical interferometry system for generating one or more images corresponding to a target region in a subject; determining calibration information that identifies a focal position of the optical interferometry system corresponding to a determined focal position of the imaging system at which the imaging system generates a desired image of the target region at an initial position, wherein determining calibration information comprises: determining a subsequent focal position of the imaging system for generating a desired image corresponding to at least one of another target region in the subject and another position of the target region relative to the imaging system based on the calibration information; and autofocusing the imaging system using the subsequent focal position to generate the desired image corresponding to at least one of the another target region in the subject and another position of the target region relative to the imaging system.
