  • Systems, devices and methods for automatic microscope focus
    Patent number: 11796785
    Abstract: An automatic focus system for an optical microscope that facilitates faster focusing by using at least two offset focusing cameras. Each offset focusing camera can be positioned on a different side of an image forming conjugate plane so that their sharpness curves intersect at the image forming conjugate plane. Focus of a specimen can be adjusted by using sharpness values determined from images taken by the offset focusing cameras.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 5, 2022
    Date of Patent: October 24, 2023
    Assignee: Nanotronics Imaging, Inc.
    Inventors: John B. Putman, Matthew C. Putman, Vadim Pinskiy, Denis Y. Sharoukhov
