Computer-implemented methods and systems are provided for managing one or more images. An example method for indexing involves operating a processor to, divide an image portion of an image of the one or more images into a plurality of patches, for each patch of the image: detect one or more features of the patch; and assign the patch to at least one cluster of a plurality of clusters of the image, based on the one or more features of the patch. The processor is operable to, for each cluster of the image, select at least one patch from the cluster as at least one representative patch for the cluster; for each representative patch, generate an encoded representation based on one or more features of the representative patch; and generate an index identifier for the image based on the encoded representations of the representative patches of the image.

Systems and methods of managing medical images

According to one aspect, an instrument for scanning a specimen. The instrument includes a scanning stage for supporting the specimen, a detector having a plurality of pixels, the scanning stage and the detector movable relative to each other to move the specimen in a scan direction during a scan, and a pulsed illumination source synchronized with the motion of the specimen on the scanning stage. At least some of the pixels of the detector are operable to collect light emitted from the specimen during the scan due to the pulsed illumination source and generate corresponding image data. The instrument may further include a processor operable to perform MSIA on the image data to generate an image of the specimen.

Scanning microscope using pulsed illumination and MSIA

According to some examples, an instrument for scanning a specimen on a specimen holder. The instrument includes a scanning stage for supporting the specimen, and a detector having a plurality of pixels. The scanning stage and the detector are movable relative to each other to move the specimen in a scan direction during a scan. At least some of the pixels of the detector are operable to collect light from different depths inside the specimen during the scan and generate corresponding image data. The instrument also includes a processor operable to perform MSIA on the image data to generate a 3D image of the specimen.

Scanning microscope for 3D imaging using MSIA

The present invention provides an inexpensive, simple, compact, optical relay for use primarily with scanning beam imaging systems. More specifically, it can be used as an optical interconnect between scanning mirrors and between a scanning mirror and imaging optics such as a microscope objective. The optical relay, also known as an optical telescope or coupler, consists of two eyepieces forming an afocal assembly. A beam pivoting about a stationary point in the first focal plane of the first eyepiece will be relayed through the optical system such that it pivots about a stationary point at the second focal plane of the second eyepiece. In the preferred embodiment a collimated beam pivots about the first focal point of the first eyepiece as it enters the optical relay, and exits the optical relay with the same beam diameter and scan angle (opposite sign) pivoting about the second focal point of the second eyepiece.
