Abstract:
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for sample image capture using integrated control. A digital microscope or other imaging device can be associated with a sample chamber containing cell, tissue, or other sample material. The chamber can be configured to operate using a variety of environmental variables, including gas concentration, temperature, humidity, and others. The imaging device can be configured to operate using a variety of imaging variables, including magnification, focal length, illumination, and others. A central system control module can be used to configure the settings of those hardware elements, as well as others, to set up and carry out an image capture event. The system control module can be operated to control the physical, optical, chemical, and/or other parameters of the overall imaging environment from one central control point. The variables used to produce the image capture can be configured to dynamically variable during the media capture event.

Claim (Index 29):
An imaging system, comprising:\n one or more processors; and one or more hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer readable media that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the imaging system to:\n initiate a system controller operatively connected to a chamber and to an imaging device; \n receive, at the system controller, a set of initial environmental settings for the chamber, the set of initial environmental settings comprising at least one of a temperature of the chamber, a humidity of the chamber, a pressure of the chamber, or a concentration of gas within the chamber; \n receive, at the system controller, a set of initial imaging parameters for operating the imaging device, the set of initial imaging parameters comprising at least one of a magnification setting, a focal length setting, a resolution setting, an illumination setting, a monochrome setting, a color setting, a fluorescent stain setting, a transparency setting, or a phase setting; \n initiate, sequentially or simultaneously via the system controller, the set of initial environmental settings at the chamber and the set of initial imaging parameters to operate the imaging device; \n receive, at the system controller, a triggering event and at least one of a set of changed environmental settings or a set of changed imaging parameters; and \n in response to the triggering event, dynamically update the set of initial environmental settings to the set of changed environmental settings or the set of initial imaging parameters to the set of changed imaging parameters, \n wherein the set of changed environmental settings comprises at least one of a changed temperature of the chamber, a changed humidity of the chamber, a changed pressure of the chamber, or a changed concentration of gas within the chamber, and \n wherein the set of changed imaging parameters comprises at least one of a changed magnification setting, a changed focal length setting, a changed resolution setting, a changed illumination setting, a changed monochrome setting, a changed color setting, a changed fluorescent stain setting, a changed transparency setting, or a changed phase setting.
