Abstract:
This application discloses a tools and techniques for using a remote-focusing element (such as an electro-tunable lens) to provide enhanced focusing in an all-optical digital scanning microscopy system. The remote-focusing element can imaging of different sections of the specimen without moving the specimen itself, while at the same time providing the ability to correct for non-uniform indices of refraction in the imaged specimen and/or the surrounding medium which can cause misalignment between the imaged plane and the illuminated plane, which can result in loss focus in the imaged section of the specimen. The remote-focusing element can also obviate the need to move the detection stage and/or the illumination stage of the system to image different sections, eliminating vibration during the imaging process.

Claim (Index 19):
The microscope controller of  claim 15 , wherein the set of instructions are further executable by the at least one processor to:\n divide the first image of the first section into a grid having a plurality of focus areas, wherein focus levels are determined for each focus area of the plurality of focus areas, wherein focus levels for each focus area are compared to the threshold focus level; and wherein the at least on out-of-focus feature is identified within one or more of the plurality of focus areas having respective focus levels below the threshold focus level.
