Title:
SYSTEMS FOR AND METHODS OF FACILITATING FOCUSING AN OPTICAL SCANNER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/101686
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Systems and methods for facilitating focusing of an image scanner, such as a confocal microscope, are disclosed. Measurement of optical characteristics in certain areas of a test sample are compared to stored or baseline optical characteristic profiles to determine an appropriate correction to properly focus the scanner. In one aspect, the method includes obtaining a dynamic profile at a current detection region of a test sample and associating the dynamic profile to a profile selected from a set of stored baseline profiles. Each of the stored baseline profiles is associated with a correction.
