  • Publication number: 20220237784
    Abstract: Example methods and systems to obtain images associated with target cells distributed in a cytology specimen have been disclosed. One example method includes obtaining a first image associated with a first region of the cytology specimen through a first object lens, determining a first subregion of the first region, obtaining a second set of one or more images associated with the first subregion through a second object lens, identifying a third image from the first image, and in response to a ratio of a second number of the target cells in the second set of one or more images to the first number of the target cells in the third image being in a predetermined range, obtaining images associated with the target cells based on the second set of images.
