Abstract:
Systems and methods disclosed herein include an imaging system that may include a laser diode source; an objective lens positioned to direct a focus tracking beam from the light source onto a location in a sample container and to receive the focus tracking beam reflected from the sample; and an image sensor that may include a plurality of pixel locations to receive focus tracking beam that is reflected off of the location in the sample container, where the reflected focus tracking beam may create a spot on the image sensor. Some examples may further include a laser diode light source that may be operated at a power level that is above a power level for operation at an Amplified Spontaneous Emission (“ASE”) mode, but below a power level for single mode operation.

Claim (Index 18):
The imaging system of  claim 13 , wherein a power level at which the laser diode light source is operated is selected such that spot stability separation of the at least two spots on the image sensor is less than about 5% of the pixel size of the image sensor.
