Abstract:
System for acquiring a digital image of a sample on a microscope slide. In an embodiment, the system comprises a stage configured to support a sample, an objective lens having a single optical axis that is orthogonal to the stage, an imaging sensor, and a focusing sensor. The system further comprises at least one beam splitter optically coupled to the objective lens and configured to receive a field of view corresponding to the optical axis of the objective lens, and simultaneously provide at least a first portion of the field of view to the imaging sensor and at least a second portion of the field of view to the focusing sensor. The focusing sensor may simultaneously acquire image(s) at a plurality of different focal distances and/or simultaneously acquire a pair of mirrored images, each comprising pixels acquired at a plurality of different focal distances.

Claim (Index 12):
The system of any preceding claim, wherein the focusing sensor comprises a plurality of regions, wherein each region of the focusing sensor receives the second portion of the field of view along a separate optical path, and wherein the focusing sensor is tilted at an angle with respect to each of the separate optical paths, such that the second portion of the field of view is acquired, by each region of focusing sensor, at a different focal distance than the other regions of focusing sensor.
