Claim One:
1. A system for capturing an image of a specimen using an image capturing device, the system comprising; a memory storing a set of instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute one or more of the set of instructions to: receive first image information corresponding to a first image captured by the image capturing device, the first image information including pixel values for pixels of the captured first image, and wherein the first image includes data representing a specular reflection of a first aspect of the specimen; receive second image information corresponding to a second image captured by the image capturing device, the second information including pixel values for pixels of the captured second image, and wherein the second image includes data representing a specular reflection of a second aspect of the specimen; compare a first plurality of pixel values of the captured first image with a corresponding second plurality of pixel values of the captured second image; determine, for each pixel of the first plurality of pixel values, whether a selected pixel from the first plurality of pixels or a corresponding pixel from the second plurality of pixel values has a higher pixel value; and store in a pixel value set the pixel value of the selected pixel from the first plurality of pixels if the selected pixel has a higher pixel value than the corresponding pixel from the second plurality of pixel values and store in the pixel value set the pixel value of the corresponding pixel from the second plurality of pixels if the corresponding pixel has a higher pixel value than the selected pixel from the first plurality of pixels, wherein the pixel value set provides an integrated image of the specimen.
