Abstract:
An automatic focus system for an optical microscope that facilitates faster focusing by using at least two cameras. The first camera can be positioned in a first image forming conjugate plane and receives light from a first illumination source that transmits light in a first wavelength range. The second camera can be positioned at an offset distance from the first image forming conjugate plane and receives light from a second illumination source that transmits light in a second wavelength range.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for automatically focusing a microscope, comprising:\n a first camera, configured for focusing, positioned on an image forming conjugate plane; a second camera, configured for focusing, positioned at an offset distance from the image forming conjugate plane; and a hardware processor coupled to the first camera and the second camera that is configured to:\n determine, using the first camera, when a specimen is in focus based on a sharpness value; \n determine, using the second camera, a sharpness setpoint for the specimen when the specimen is determined to be in focus for the first camera; \n after movement of the specimen, determine, using the second camera, a first sharpness value of the specimen; \n determine whether the first sharpness value of the specimen is higher or lower than the sharpness setpoint; and \n adjust the microscope so that a second sharpness value of the specimen determined using the second camera corresponds to the sharpness setpoint.
