Publication number: 20200241272Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for controlling a microscope. An example method can involve generating a graphical user interface for a microscope, the graphical user interface having a display area for displaying a visual representation of a specimen positioned in an optical path of a microscope; a control panel for adjusting the visual representation of the specimen displayed in the display area; and a file control panel for naming an album and filename associated with an image of the visual representation of the specimen displayed in the display area. The method can further involve receiving an input via the graphical user interface, the input requesting an adjustment of the visual representation of the specimen displayed in the display area; and based on the input, adjusting the visual representation of the specimen displayed in the display area.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2020Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Eugene L.
