Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a high throughput optical scanning device and methods of use. The optical scanning device and methods of use provided herein can allow high throughput scanning of a continuously moving object with a high resolution despite fluctuations in stage velocity. This can aid in high throughput scanning of a substrate, such as a biological chip comprising fluorophores. Also provided herein are improved optical relay systems and scanning optics.

Claim (Index 1):
An optical scanning system for imaging a moving substrate, comprising:\n a. a stage, said stage capable of moving along an axis, said stage configured to hold a substrate comprising a plurality of fields; b. an objective lens; c. a camera capable of acquiring an image of one of said plurality of fields through the objective lens, said image acquired via an optical path defined from one of said plurality of fields through said objective lens to said camera during acquisition of said image; d. a velocity tracking mirror mounted along said optical path; e. a first electrical motor operably coupled to said velocity tracking mirror to adjust the angle of the tracking mirror along said axis of stage movement in said optical path; f. a controller module operably coupled to said first electrical motor to send a first driving signal to said first electrical motor, wherein said first driving signal is a function of a velocity measurement of the stage movement along said axis; g. an acceleration tracking mirror mounted along said optical path; h. a second electrical motor operably coupled to said acceleration tracking mirror to adjust the angle of the acceleration tracking mirror along said axis of stage movement in said optical path, wherein said controller module is operably coupled to said second electrical motor to send a second driving signal to said second electrical motor, wherein said second driving signal is a function of the change of the stage velocity along said axis.
