Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to obtaining magnified images of a sample and combining the magnified images to create a combined magnified image. In an embodiment, a system includes an ocular device including at least one lens used to magnify portions of a sample. The system also includes a detector configured to detect the magnified portions and produce magnified images of the magnified portions. A processing device is coupled to the detector. The processing device is configured to: determine a transformation function for the at least one lens; receive two or more magnified images; apply the transformation function to the received magnified images; and combine the transformed magnified images into a combined image.
