Publication number: 20240019678Abstract: A microscopy system and method of focusing the same are disclosed herein. The microscopy system may include an objective, and imaging device, an illumination source, an epi-illumination module, and a controller. The imaging device is configured to capture a single image of a specimen positioned on a stage of the microscopy system. The illumination source is configured to illuminate the specimen positioned on the stage. The epi-illumination module includes a focusing mechanism in a first primary optical path of a light generated by the illumination source. The focusing mechanism is tilted in relation to a plane perpendicular to the first primary optical path. The controller is in communication with the illumination source. The controller is configured to focus the microscopy system based on a pattern produced by the focusing mechanism on the single image captured by the imaging device.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2022Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Nanotronics Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Patrick Schmidt, Denis Sharoukhov, Tonislav Ivanov, Jonathan Lee

Publication number: 20230296872Abstract: A fluorescence microscopy inspection system includes light sources able to emit light that causes a specimen to fluoresce and light that does not cause a specimen to fluoresce. The emitted light is directed through one or more filters and objective channels towards a specimen. A ring of lights projects light at the specimen at an oblique angle through a darkfield channel. One of the filters may modify the light to match a predetermined bandgap energy associated with the specimen and another filter may filter wavelengths of light reflected from the specimen and to a camera. The camera may produce an image from the received light and specimen classification and feature analysis may be performed on the image.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 26, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Applicant: Nanotronics Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Matthew C. Putman, John B. Putman, Vadim Pinskiy, Denis Sharoukhov

Publication number: 20220046180Abstract: A computing system receives, from an image sensor, at least two images of a specimen positioned on a specimen stage of a microscope system. The computing system provides the at least two images to an autofocus model for detecting at least one distances to a focal plane of the specimen. The computing system identifies, via the autofocus model, the at least one distance to the focal plane of the specimen. Based on the identifying, the computing system automatically adjusts a position of the specimen stage with respect to an objective lens of the microscope system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 6, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Applicant: Nanotronics Imaging, Inc.Inventors: Denis Sharoukhov, Tonislav Ivanov, Jonathan Lee
