  • System and method for acquiring images at maximum acquisition rate while asynchronously sequencing microscope devices
    Publication number: 20040196365
    Abstract: The invention provides an automated microscope system, a computer program product which may be programmed into the automated microscope system and a method for acquiring images at substantially the maximum acquisition rate of a camera while and as devices external to the camera, which vary various parameters of the acquired images, operate asynchronously with the camera so as to allow the acquired images to be displayed as a sequence that shows continuous variation in the acquisition parameters.
    Type: Application
