  • Publication number: 20250316098
    Abstract: A microscope based system for image-guided microscopic illumination is provided. The system may include a microscope, a stage, an imaging subsystem adapted to obtain an image of a sample on the stage, a processing subsystem adapted to identify regions of interest in the sample from images obtained by the imaging subsystem, and a pattern illumination subsystem adapted to illuminate the regions of interest based on coordinates derived from the images by the processing subsystem. Methods of calibrating the microscope based system may include projecting light from the pattern illumination subsystem onto the sample in the illumination pattern based on computed coordinates of the desired pattern, obtaining an image of the illumination pattern from the sample with the imaging subsystem, measuring differences between actual coordinates of the illumination pattern in the image and the computed coordinates, ‘and generating correction factors based on the measured differences to calibrate the system automatically.
