Abstract:
A method and system for obtaining an image of object, for example an optical section of a sample, are disclosed. The image includes a plurality of scan lines to be acquired. The method includes, for a current one of the scan lines to be acquired, a step of determining positions of one or more predicted regions of interest along the current scan line based on at least one previously acquired predictive scan line. The method also includes a step of acquiring the current scan line along a scan path in accordance with a variable scan speed profile including at least one slower speed component along segments of the scan path corresponding to the positions of the one or more predicted regions of interest and at least one faster speed component elsewhere along the scan path.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of performing a scan for acquiring a scan line of an image of an object, the method comprising:\n initiating the scan at a scan speed; monitoring an absence or an end of a region of interest for upcoming pixels of the scan line based on absence-predictive variations in image signal intensity and, upon detection of said absence or end, setting the scan speed to a faster scan speed value; monitoring an onset of a region of interest for upcoming pixels of the scan line based on onset-predictive variations in image signal intensity and, upon detection of said onset, setting the scan speed to a slower scan speed value; and repeating the monitoring steps until the end of the scan line is reached.
