  • Patent number: 10896316
    Abstract: Techniques and technologies for automated microscopy scanning systems are disclosed wherein a microscopy system performs “hunt mode” operations at coarsely-spaced locations throughout a scanning window until an acceptable quality scan result is achieved. The system then performs detailed scans at all fields of view within a grid cell that includes the location having the acceptable scan result. The system performs another evaluation of the scan results for the entire grid cell, and if the scan results for the grid cell are collectively acceptable, then the system proceeds to perform “scan mode” operations. The scan mode operations include scanning and evaluating all of the fields of view within one or more grid cells adjacent to the acceptable grid cell from the hunt mode operations. The system may successively perform hunt mode operations and scan mode operations, compiling information regarding one or more aspects of the scanning process, until one or more termination criteria are satisfied.

  • Patent number: 10061972
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to systems and methods for determining a presence and an amount of an analyte in a biological sample. The systems and methods for determining the presence of an analyte utilize a plurality of images of a sample slide including multiple fields-of-view having multiple focal planes therein. The systems and methods utilize algorithms configured to balance the color and grayscale intensity of the plurality of images and based thereon determine if the plurality of images contain the analyte therein.
