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 67):
A method of imaging a plurality of fields on a moving substrate, comprising\n a. providing an optical scanning system comprising:\n i. a moveable stage holding a substrate comprising a plurality of fields, \n ii. an objective lens, \n iii. a camera, \n iv. a motion tracking mirror, and \n v. an electric motor operatively coupled to said motion tracking mirror to effect movement of said motion tracking mirror to track said movement of said moveable stage along said axis during an image capture, and to return said motion tracking mirror to an initial position after said image capture; \n b. moving said moveable stage along an axis, thereby moving said substrate comprising a plurality of fields along said axis; and c. generating an image for each of M fields of said substrate, comprising performing at least M image capture cycles during movement of said moveable stage along said axis, each cycle comprising:\n i. providing a cycle M driving signal to an electric motor to control movement of said tracking mirror to track the velocity of said moveable stage along said axis; \n ii. capturing an image of said field while said tracking mirror is tracking said moving stage; and \n iii. determining an average velocity of said field, wherein said average velocity is used to generate a cycle M+1 driving signal to control movement of said electric motor during cycle M+1.
