Abstract: Access to microscope images while a sample is scanned or images are generated or uploaded can decrease an amount of time that a user waits to view a region of interest of an image. A processor can be configured to allow a remote user to access a portion of an image at full or partial resolution while other portions of the sample are being scanned, or while one or more images are generated or uploaded at full or partial resolution. A processor stored locally with the microscope can be configured to allow a remote user to access a completed scan over the internet prior to the scan being fully uploaded over a network such as the internet to a remote server. In some embodiments, a processor may be coupled to a microscope, a user device, or a remote server.

Abstract: Microscopes and methods for processing images of a sample are disclosed. In one implementation, a microscope includes an illumination assembly configured to illuminate the sample under two or more different illumination conditions. The microscope further includes at least one image capture device configured to capture image information associated with the sample and at least one controller. The at least one controller is programmed to receive, from the at least one image capture device, a plurality of images associated with the sample. At least a first portion of the plurality of images is associated with a first region of the sample, and a second portion of the plurality of images is associated with a second region of the sample.
