Abstract:
An imaging microscope ( 12 ) for generating an image of a sample ( 10 ) comprises a beam source ( 14 ) that emits a temporally coherent illumination beam ( 20 ), the illumination beam ( 20 ) including a plurality of rays that are directed at the sample ( 10 ); an image sensor ( 18 ) that converts an optical image into an array of electronic signals; and an imaging lens assembly ( 16 ) that receives rays from the beam source ( 14 ) that are transmitted through the sample ( 10 ) and forms an image on the image sensor ( 18 ). The imaging lens assembly ( 16 ) can further receive rays from the beam source ( 14 ) that are reflected off of the sample ( 10 ) and form a second image on the image sensor ( 18 ). The imaging lens assembly ( 16 ) receives the rays from the sample ( 10 ) and forms the image on the image sensor ( 18 ) without splitting and recombining the rays.

Claim (Index 29):
An imaging microscope for analyzing a sample, the imaging microscope comprising:\n a slide that retains the sample; a stage assembly that retains the slide and selectively moves the sample; a beam source that emits (i) a temporally coherent first illumination beam, the first illumination beam including a plurality of first rays, and (ii) a temporally coherent, second illumination beam, the second illumination beam including a plurality of second rays; wherein the beam source includes a mid-infrared tunable laser; an illumination lens assembly that directs the first illumination beam at the sample retained by the slide, the illumination lens assembly adjusting the first illumination beam so that the first illumination beam illuminates a two-dimensional illuminated area on the sample all at once; a reflection lens assembly that directs the second illumination beam at the sample retained by the slide, the reflection lens assembly adjusting the second illumination beam so that the second illumination beam illuminates a two-dimensional illuminated area on the sample all at once; an image sensor that converts a two dimensional, optical image into an array of electronic signals, the image sensor including a two-dimensional array of sensors that are used to construct a two-dimensional image of the sample; and an imaging lens assembly that receives transmitted rays that are transmitted through the sample when the first illumination beam is directed at the sample, and forms a two-dimensional, first optical image of the sample on the image sensor without splitting and recombining the transmitted rays; and wherein the imaging lens assembly further receives reflected rays that are reflected off the sample when the second illumination beam is directed at the sample, and forms a two-dimensional, second optical image of the sample on the image sensor without splitting and recombining the reflected rays.
