Microscope focus adjustment based on area of interest
The patent US12072551B2 outlines a method and apparatus for enhancing the focusing capabilities of a microscope. The core of the invention involves determining the presence of an area of interest within the microscope's field of view and subsequently adjusting the focus based on this determination. The focus adjustment can occur at a speed that is either predetermined or modified, with the speed being influenced by the size of an optical fiber associated with the field of view. The method allows for user inputs to control focus speed, acceleration, and direction, which can be facilitated through various means, including joystick actuation.
Additionally, the patent describes the use of visual indicators to ascertain the presence of the area of interest. These indicators may include contrast levels, color differences, and luminance variations among features in the field of view. The system is designed to determine parameters for modifying focus speed and acceleration, thereby providing a more responsive and precise focusing mechanism. The invention is implemented in a microscope equipped with processors and memory that execute the necessary instructions, as well as in a non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores these instructions. This innovation aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of microscopic imaging by allowing for dynamic focus adjustments based on real-time analysis of the observed area.
