Introduction

Hongtu Ma is an inventor based in Beijing, China, associated with the Chinese Academy of Sciences. His patent work addresses the acquisition and navigation of microscopic images from sequential tissue slices.

Latest Patents

The provided information lists 1 patent for Hongtu Ma: “Method for Microscopic Image Acquisition Based on Sequential Section.” The method combines a sample with its navigation image, then uses image processing and machine learning to identify and label the sample in that image. It establishes a coordinate transformation between the navigation image and the microscope’s sampling space, enabling a selected pixel to be navigated to the center of the microscope’s field of view. The method also locates the sample at low resolution, binds sample-acquisition parameters, and records the relative positions of a high-resolution acquisition region and a sample-template-matched center point.

Career Highlights

Ma’s listed invention focuses on coordinating image analysis, microscope navigation, and acquisition settings within a sequential-slice imaging workflow. The approach is designed to connect locations identified in a navigation image with corresponding positions in the microscope’s sampling space.

Collaborations

The provided information names Guoqing Li and Hua Han as Ma’s coworkers. It does not specify their roles in the patent or the nature of their collaboration.

Conclusion

Hongtu Ma’s listed patent describes a workflow for locating and acquiring microscopic images from sequential slices by linking image-based identification with microscope coordinates and acquisition parameters.
