Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of digital pathology and in particular to whole slide scanners. Autofocus imaging can be performed by sampling a first number of pixels of an image sensor and sampling a second number of pixels of the image sensor, wherein the second number is between one quarter and three quarters of the first number. Thus, continuous autofocus for rapid light scanning may be provided using data from a single sensor based on sampling data along a tilt with respect to the optical axis.

Claim (Index 31):
A computer-readable medium, in which a computer program for autofocus imaging of a microscope is stored which, when executed by a processor of the microscope, causes the processor to carry out the steps of:\n acquiring primary image data of an object of interest from an image sensor comprising a primary image sensor arrangement; acquiring autofocus image data of an oblique section of the object of interest from the image sensor; sampling a first number of pixels per distance in object space, the first number of pixels being pixels of the primary image data; sampling a second number of pixels per distance in object space, the second number of pixels being pixels of the autofocus image data; wherein the second number is between one quarter and three quarters of the first number.
